This Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip is a creamy, spicy, and cheesy appetizer perfect for game days, parties, or casual gatherings. Made with shredded chicken, Buffalo wing sauce, cream cheese, ranch dressing, and Colby Jack cheese, it slowly cooks to a warm, melty dip that’s perfect for serving with tortilla chips, carrots, and celery.

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 12.5 oz can chunk chicken breast (drained, Swanson brand recommended)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 4 oz finely shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s or Franks Wing Sauce recommended; adjust more for additional spiciness)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing

For Dipping

  • Tortilla chips
  • Carrots
  • Celery

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a 3 quart or 6 quart crock pot, add the drained chunk chicken breast, softened cream cheese, finely shredded Colby Jack cheese, Buffalo Wing Sauce, and ranch dressing.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the cream cheese is blended smoothly with the other components.
  3. Cook the Dip: Set the crock pot on LOW heat and cook the mixture for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. If using a 6 quart crock pot, the dip will typically heat through in about 1.5 hours.
  4. Serve Warm: Once hot and bubbling, transfer the dip to a serving dish or keep it warm in the crock pot. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, carrots, and celery for dipping.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of Buffalo Wing Sauce to control the spiciness level of the dip.
  • Softening the cream cheese to room temperature beforehand helps achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
  • If you prefer a thicker dip, add more shredded cheese or reduce the amount of wing sauce slightly.
  • To keep the dip warm during a party, set the crock pot to the ‘Keep Warm’ setting after cooking.
  • This recipe works best with canned chunk chicken breast for texture but cooked shredded chicken breasts can be used as a substitute.
