Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip
Description
The recipe begins by layering sliced onion and broth in a slow cooker, with chicken breasts cooked over high heat for about 2.5 hours. After shredding the chicken and discarding the broth and onions, the dip ingredients—including cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, shredded cheddar, and mozzarella—are added and gently cooked until the cheese melts and the mixture is well combined.
The slow cooking method softens the chicken and melds the hot sauce and cheese flavors without drying out the dip. Adjustments to heat can be made by adding more hot sauce or ranch dressing to control spiciness and creaminess.
The dip is best served warm for easy scooping and pairs well with various dippers like crackers or vegetables. It works well as a party appetizer or informal snack and can be kept warm in the slow cooker or reheated gently if needed.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 yellow onion sliced into 1 inch rounds, small
- 1/4 cup chicken broth , or chicken bone broth
- 8 ounces cream cheese , sliced into 4 cubes
- 3/4 cup ranch dressing , or creamy blue cheese
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded, sharp
- 1/2 mozzarella cheese ,shredded
Optional Ingredients
- vegetable pretzels, or crackers for dipping, raw
- chives for garnish
Instructions
- Line the bottom of a slow cooker with the sliced onion and broth, place the chicken over the onion and cook on high for 2.5 hours.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and shred with two forks. Remove the onion and drain the broth from the slow cooker. Turn it on low and set the timer for 30 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Give it a quick stir and allow the mixture to cook.
- Mix everything together until fully combined – I like to do a quick taste test here, too. Add more hot sauce if you like it spicy or more ranch if you need to cool it down. Let it all cook for 30 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
