Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Celery sticks, for serving
  • Carrot sticks, for serving
  • Tortilla chips, for serving
  • Crackers, for serving
  • Bread cubes, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep your chicken first. If using a rotisserie chicken, remove the skin and shred the meat with two forks to get about 2 cups. If cooking your own, poach two boneless skinless chicken breasts in simmering water for 15-20 minutes until cooked through, then shred.
  2. Soften your cream cheese. Take it out of the fridge about 30 minutes before starting, or microwave for 15-20 seconds until soft but not melted.
  3. Combine the creamy ingredients. In a mixing bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, sour cream, and buffalo sauce until smooth.
  4. Add the seasonings. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and onion powder, and stir to combine.
  5. Layer everything in the crockpot. Spread the shredded chicken evenly across the bottom. Pour the creamy mixture over the top, then add the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled blue cheese. Drop the tablespoon of butter on top.
  6. Stir it all together until well combined, ensuring no pockets of dry chicken or unmixed cream cheese remain.
  7. Cook on low. Cover and cook on low heat for 2 hours. After about an hour, give it a stir to redistribute everything.
  8. Check the consistency. After 2 hours, the dip should be hot, bubbly, and creamy. If too thin, cook for another 15-20 minutes with the lid off. If too thick, stir in a tablespoon of milk or extra buffalo sauce.
  9. Add a final touch. Just before serving, sprinkle extra crumbled blue cheese and a dash of chopped green onions on top for color and freshness.
  10. Switch to warm. Turn the crockpot to the warm setting for serving to keep the dip at the perfect temperature.

Notes

Don’t skip softening the cream cheese for a smooth texture. Stir halfway through cooking to prevent scorching. Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting. Let the dip rest on warm for 15 minutes before serving for best flavor. To make ahead, assemble in the crockpot insert and refrigerate overnight, then cook as directed.
