Ingredients
  

Dip Base Ingredients
  • 3 cups shredded chicken breast cooked rotisserie chicken works great
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened, cubed
  • 3/4 cup buffalo hot sauce
  • 3/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese freshly shredded, divided
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese freshly shredded
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Garnishes & Dippers
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles optional
  • 3 stalks green onions sliced
  • 1 platter tortilla chips and fresh veggies for serving

Method
 

  1. Lightly spray the ceramic insert of a 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with nonstick olive oil spray. Add the shredded cooked chicken, cubed cream cheese, buffalo hot sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, mozzarella cheese, and 1 cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  1. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 2 to 2 1/2 hours (or on HIGH for 1 hour), until the cheeses are completely melted and bubbling along the edges.
  1. Uncover and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula for 1 to 2 minutes until all the melted cheeses and buffalo sauce emulsify into an ultra-smooth, creamy, velvety dip.
  1. Smooth the surface and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese. Cover and cook on LOW for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the top cheese layer is fully melted and glossy.
  1. Turn the slow cooker setting to WARM. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and crumbled blue cheese. Serve directly from the slow cooker with sturdy tortilla chips, celery ribs, and carrot sticks!
