Heat the chicken and buffalo sauce in a heavy bottomed pot on the stove over medium heat. Bring it to a simmer and then cover with a lid. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred with a stand mixer or two forks. Return it to the pot and toss it in the buffalo sauce on low heat for 2 minutes.
Heat the pita over a flame on a gas stove until it’s lightly charred. Slice it in half and spread the ranch dressing inside. Then stuff the pita pockets with the shredded chicken, romaine, celery, and crumbled blue cheese.
