Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 16 ounces cream cheese (2 bricks)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (more to taste, less if you prefer less spicy)
  • 2/3 cup ranch dressing (can substitute bleu cheese dressing)
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1.5-2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie or canned)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a slow cooker, add 16 ounces of cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce, 2/3 cup ranch dressing, and 2 cups shredded chicken. Stir all ingredients together thoroughly to create a uniform mixture.
  2. Cook the Dip: Set the slow cooker to low and cook the mixture for 1 hour or until the dip is bubbly and heated through evenly.
  3. Optional Broil: Before serving, you may optionally sprinkle additional cheese on top of the dip and place it under the oven broiler for a few minutes to get a golden, melted cheese crust.
  4. Serve and Keep Warm: Turn the slow cooker to the warm setting to keep the dip hot. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or other vegetables as dippers.

Notes

  • This dip is incredibly simple with just five main ingredients, making it quick to prepare.
  • Adjust the buffalo sauce quantity to modulate the spiciness of the dip according to your preference.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful option, or canned chicken for convenience.
  • For a tangier twist, substitute ranch dressing with bleu cheese dressing.
  • The optional broil step adds a delicious melted cheese topping but can be skipped to save time.
  • Perfect for game days, parties, and holiday gatherings thanks to its creamy, cheesy texture and bold flavors.
