Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 450g or 1 lb)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (about 120ml)
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (about 75g)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (about 120ml)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 115g) – optional
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by shredding about 3 cups (450g or 1 lb) of cooked chicken. Rotisserie chicken works well.
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the shredded chicken and blue cheese crumbles.
- Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker insert and spread evenly. Cover with the lid.
- Cook on low for 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring halfway through to mix the melting cheese and chicken evenly.
- Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover, and cook for another 15 minutes until melted. For a golden top, transfer to an oven-safe dish and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully.
- Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or other preferred dippers.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even melting. For a thicker dip, cook uncovered a bit longer; for thinner, add milk or extra ranch dressing. Can be baked in oven at 350°F for 25-30 minutes if no slow cooker is available.
