Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (or other cooked chicken)
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Sauce
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheese blend, divided (such as cheddar and mozzarella)
Topping
- Green onions, sliced (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded cooked chicken into the crockpot. Layer on the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of the shredded cheese blend, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This creates the base for your dip.
- Cook the Dip: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours, or on high heat for 1 to 2 hours. Stir the mixture halfway through cooking to help it blend evenly and melt smoothly.
- Add Remaining Cheese: When the dip is hot, creamy, and bubbling, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese on top. Replace the lid and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt fully.
- Garnish and Serve: Once melted, remove the lid and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve the dip warm with your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful shortcut, or cook and shred your own chicken breasts or thighs.
- Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to control the spice level to your preference.
- For a thicker dip, reduce ranch dressing slightly or substitute with sour cream.
- You can substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a classic Buffalo flavor twist.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
