Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 1 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For Garnish
- Chopped green onions or parsley (optional)
For Serving
- Tortilla chips
- Celery sticks
- Carrot sticks
- Crackers
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a crockpot liner to ensure easy cleanup after cooking.
- Combine Ingredients: In the crockpot, add the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, garlic powder, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure the dip heats evenly until it is hot and the cheese is melted through.
- Add Remaining Cheese: About 15 minutes before the cooking time ends, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the dip. Cover again and let the cheese melt completely.
- Final Stir and Garnish: Once the cheese has melted, stir the dip thoroughly to combine all the layers. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired for a fresh burst of flavor and color.
- Serve Warm: Serve the buffalo chicken dip warm alongside tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut to shredded cooked chicken.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, add extra buffalo sauce or some cayenne pepper.
- For a milder taste, substitute buffalo sauce with mild wing sauce.
- To make cleanup easier, lining the crockpot with a liner is highly recommended.
- Serve immediately after cooking for the best melty texture; leftovers can be reheated gently on low heat.
