Ingredients

  • 8 ounces - full-fat cream cheese
  • 3 cups - chicken
  • ¾ cup - buffalo wing sauce
  • ½ cup - ranch dressing
  • ½ cup - ranch
  • 1 ½ cups - freshly-shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp - garlic powder
  • 1 tsp - onion powder
  • ¼ tsp - black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons - freshly-snipped green onions
  • blue cheese
  • chips, crostini, veggies

Instructions

  1. To the bowl of a slow cooker, add the cream cheese, shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, 1 cup (100 grams) of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and white or black pepper. Stir to combine.
  2. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 1 1/2-2 hours, or until the cream cheese is completely melted and the dip is hot. Stir the dip often to prevent burning. Taste and add more spices, if needed.
  3. BROIL IN OVEN: this is my favorite way to finish the dip for that crispy top! When the dip is done, grease a small baking dish. Spoon the dip into the baking dish and sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup (50 grams) of shredded cheddar cheese. Broil on high until the cheese is bubbly.
  4. SLOW COOKER: this is a better choice when you want to serve the dip in the slow cooker. When the dip is done cooking, sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup (50 grams) of shredded cheddar cheese. Cover and cook for 15-20 more minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted.
  5. Garnish the finished dip with the chives or green onions and the blue cheese crumbles, if using. Serve with chips, pretzels, veggies, & other dippers. Enjoy!
