Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (450g) cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing as a substitute)
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Shred about 3 cups (450g) of cooked chicken using forks or shredder claws.
  2. Soften 8 oz (225g) of cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for 20-30 minutes or microwaving in 15-second bursts until spreadable.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup (180ml) buffalo sauce, and 1/2 cup (120ml) ranch dressing. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold in shredded chicken, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until evenly coated.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the crockpot insert or serving dish.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar and 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
  7. Cook uncovered on low for 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring halfway through to combine melted cheese with the dip.
  8. Check consistency; if too thick, stir in a tablespoon or two of ranch dressing or a splash of milk.
  9. Serve warm, keeping the dip on warm setting if possible. Ideal dippers include celery sticks, tortilla chips, or soft pretzels.

Notes

Softening the cream cheese before mixing is essential for a smooth texture. Stir halfway through cooking to prevent crust formation and ensure even melting. Adjust buffalo sauce to control spiciness. If dip is too thick after cooking, thin with ranch dressing or milk. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
