Equipment

  • Slow Cooker/Crockpot
  • Mixing Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken rotisserie chicken works wonderfully
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened and cubed
  • 1/2 cup Frank's RedHot Buffalo sauce adjust to taste for heat level
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese optional
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Shred your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they're not too large for easy dipping. If using a rotisserie chicken, remove the skin and focus on the tender white and dark meat.
  • Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup. Add the softened cream cheese cubes to the bottom, spreading them evenly.
  • Pour the Frank's RedHot Buffalo sauce over the cream cheese, then add the ranch dressing, sour cream, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Add your shredded chicken and half of the cheddar cheese to the mixture. Gently stir to combine all ingredients, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
  • Cover your crockpot and cook on LOW for 2 hours or on HIGH for 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
  • About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and optional blue cheese crumbles on top. Cover again to allow the cheese to melt completely.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions before serving with your choice of dippers.

Notes

- For a lighter version, use 1/3-less-fat cream cheese and light sour cream
- Greek yogurt can be substituted for sour cream for added protein
- Store leftover dip in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator
- For a make-ahead option, prepare all ingredients up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate; add an extra 30 minutes to cooking time if starting from cold
- For best results, allow 5-10 minutes of rest time after cooking for the dip to thicken slightly
