Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, for extra tang)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for a silkier finish)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for topping)
  • Chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, pita chips, or toasted baguette for serving

Instructions

  • Prep the base: Add cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch, garlic powder, onion powder, and butter (if using) to the crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 30–45 minutes until softened.
  • Stir until smooth: Whisk or stir the mixture until creamy and well combined.
  • Add chicken and cheese: Stir in shredded chicken and cheddar. If you like, fold in half the blue cheese.
  • Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on low for 1–2 hours, stirring once or twice, until hot and melty.
  • Finish and garnish: Taste and adjust heat with more buffalo sauce if needed. Top with remaining blue cheese and sliced green onions.
  • Serve warm: Switch to the “warm” setting. Stir occasionally to keep it smooth. Set out with your favorite dippers.
