- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken rotisserie or fresh
- 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce like Frank's RedHot
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp green onions optional for garnish
Prepare the Chicken: If using fresh chicken, cook it in the crock pot on low for 6-7 hours, then shred it with forks.
Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Cook: Transfer the mixture to the crock pot and cook on low for 2-3 hours or high for 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
Finish: Once the dip is heated through and bubbly, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Serve: Garnish with green onions if desired. Serve with chips, veggies, or crackers.
Adjust Spice Level: If you prefer a milder dip, use less buffalo sauce or opt for a mild buffalo sauce. For extra heat, add some chopped jalapeños or extra buffalo sauce.
Make Ahead: You can prepare this dip the night before and store it in the fridge. Simply reheat it in the crock pot on low for 1-2 hours before serving.
Creamy Texture: If you want the dip extra creamy, you can add a bit more cream cheese or use Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
Cheese Variations: Feel free to mix up the cheese! Colby Jack or Monterey Jack cheese can add a unique flavor to the dip.
Vegetarian Version: To make a vegetarian version, you can swap the chicken for shredded cauliflower or a meat alternative.
