Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Shred your cooked chicken finely. Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier blending. This initial prep makes your crockpot buffalo chicken dip incredibly smooth later on.
- Mix Base: In your slow cooker, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until mostly smooth.
- Fold In: Now, add the shredded chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese to the mixture in the crockpot. Gently fold all ingredients together until everything is evenly incorporated and coated.
- Heat & Melt: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 1-2 hours or on high for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. The dip is ready when it’s hot, bubbly, and all the cheeses are fully melted and creamy.
- Stir & Check: Give the crockpot buffalo chicken dip one final, thorough stir to ensure all ingredients are perfectly combined and heated through. Check for seasoning and adjust if needed for your ultimate party dip.
- Garnish & Serve: Transfer the warm dip to a serving bowl, or serve directly from the crockpot. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and blue cheese crumbles. Serve this amazing crockpot buffalo chicken dip immediately with your favorite dippers.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is completely softened to room temperature for a smooth, lump-free dip texture.
Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days; reheat gently.
While sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack are best, colby jack can be substituted for a similar cheesy melt.
Serve warm directly from the slow cooker or a festive bowl, garnished with green onions and blue cheese crumbles.
Prep shredded chicken and cheeses a day or two in advance; store separately and assemble just before cooking.
