Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 10.5 oz / 300g)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (4 fl oz)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (4 fl oz)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz)
Instructions
- Place 8 oz of cream cheese in a mixing bowl and soften at room temperature for 15 minutes or microwave for 20 seconds.
- Shred about 3 cups of cooked chicken using two forks or hands into bite-sized pieces.
- Add softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce, 1/2 cup ranch dressing, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese into the crockpot.
- Stir thoroughly until cream cheese is fully incorporated and buffalo sauce evenly coats the chicken.
- Cook on low for 2 hours, stirring once halfway through to prevent sticking.
- After 2 hours, stir and check consistency; add a splash of milk or ranch dressing if too thick.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with chopped green onions or extra shredded cheese.
Notes
Softening cream cheese before mixing prevents lumps. Stir halfway through cooking to avoid sticking. For a smoother texture, pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor before cooking. If dip thickens after holding, stir in milk or ranch dressing to loosen. Can be cooked on high for 1 hour if short on time but low and slow yields best flavor and texture.
