Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine Creamy Base: Place the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo wing sauce into the CrockPot and stir until the mixture is mostly smooth and well blended.
- Add Chicken and Seasoning: Add the shredded chicken, garlic powder, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture, mixing thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Mix in Cheeses: Stir in half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses into the dip mixture, combining well for a cheesy base.
- Cook the Dip: Cover the CrockPot and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to help melt the cheeses fully. The dip should become hot, creamy, and well melded.
- Add Remaining Cheese and Melt: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the top of the dip, cover again, and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch. Serve the dip warm with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken can be used for quick and easy preparation.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the spice level according to your preference.
- For a lighter version, consider using reduced-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat ranch dressing.
