Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip

Ingredients (~6-8 servings)

• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing (or ranch dressing)
• 1/3 cup cayenne pepper sauce (like Frank’s Red Hot)
• 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper
• 1 cup cubed or shredded cooked chicken
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

Mix the Base in a Large Bowl

Add the cream cheese to a large bowl and blend it until smooth using an electric hand mixer.

The cream cheese should be room temperature so it blends easily – if you forgot to take it out early, just microwave it for ~20-30 seconds.

Then add in the ranch or blue cheese dressing, cayenne pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper; Mix well to combine.

The mixture will look loose at first but comes together as you mix.

Fold in the Chicken and Most of the Cheese

Add in the chicken and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and mix well until all of the chicken has been coated in the buffalo dip mixture.

Use rotisserie chicken if you want to keep it simple – just shred it up and you’re good to go.

Transfer to Slow Cooker and Top with Remaining Cheese

Spray the insert of your slow cooker with cooking spray and spread the dip mixture into the bottom in a smooth, even layer.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top.

Cook Until Hot and Bubbly

Cook on “low” for ~2-3 hours, or on “high” for ~1-1.5 hours, or until everything is hot and bubbly.

You’ll see the edges start to bubble and the cheese on top will melt completely.

Allow the dip to cool for ~5-10 minutes, then stir well before serving.

If some of the grease forms pools on top, just remove it with a spoon before serving.

Serve with tortilla scoops, corn chips, celery sticks, or crackers.
