Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or boiled chicken breasts)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • ½ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Additional shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by shredding cooked chicken breasts or using store-bought rotisserie chicken. This shredded chicken is the hearty foundation that pairs beautifully with the buffalo sauce.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, and garlic powder. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy to ensure even flavor distribution.
  3. Combine in Crock Pot: Add the shredded chicken and cheese mixture into your crock pot. Stir gently to coat all the chicken pieces with the spicy, creamy buffalo mixture.
  4. Cook Low and Slow: Set your crock pot to low heat and cook the dip for 2 to 3 hours. This slow cooking melds the flavors and creates a thick, warm dip ideal for scooping.
  5. Garnish and Serve: A few minutes before serving, sprinkle chopped green onions or extra shredded cheddar cheese on top for added color and flavor. Keep the dip warm while serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a flavorful shortcut.
  • Don’t skip the slow cooking to allow cream cheese to melt smoothly and flavors to blend perfectly.
  • Stir the dip once or twice during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
  • Adjust spiciness by adding buffalo sauce gradually to match your preferred heat level.
  • Serve the dip warm and bubbly for the best experience.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat gently to avoid cheese separation.
