Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded, rotisserie works great!)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese, if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)

- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- Tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers for dipping
Instructions:
-
Prep the Chicken:
- If you're starting with raw chicken, cook and shred it beforehand. You can also use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time.
-
Add to the Slow Cooker:
- Place the shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, and both cheeses (cheddar and mozzarella) into the slow cooker. Stir to combine all ingredients.

Cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Once everything is melted and bubbly, give it a final stir to mix the melted cheeses with the creamy sauce.
-
Serve:
- Transfer the dip to a serving dish or keep it in the slow cooker on the "keep warm" setting. Top with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers for dipping.
Conclusion:
That’s it! With minimal effort and a little time in the slow cooker, you’ve got the ultimate buffalo chicken dip ready to devour.
