This creamy, tangy, and spicy dip is the ultimate crowd-pleaser for any gathering. Made with simple ingredients like shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch, it cooks effortlessly in your slow cooker. Serve it warm with crunchy veggies or sturdy chips for a snack that disappears in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded (about 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless breasts or thighs, or from a rotisserie chicken)
  • 8 oz block cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 cup Frank's RedHot Buffalo Wings Sauce
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the insert of a 4-quart or larger slow cooker with cooking spray.
  2. Add the shredded chicken, cubed cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the blue cheese crumbles (if using) to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the dip is hot, bubbly, and completely smooth.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the dip. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted.
  5. Give the dip one final stir to incorporate the melted top cheese. Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve warm directly from the slow cooker set to the WARM setting.

Notes

For a quicker cook time, you can cook on HIGH for about 1 hour, stirring frequently. Use softened cream cheese for even melting. Shredding your own cheese from a block yields a creamier texture than pre-shredded. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
