Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 cups canned chicken, drained (about two large cans)
Dairy & Cheese
- 16 ounces cream cheese (two packages), cut into small chunks
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Sauce & Seasonings
- 1 cup buffalo hot sauce (preferably Frank’s)
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese: Cut the cream cheese into small chunks to facilitate easier and more even melting in the slow cooker.
- Combine ingredients: In the crockpot, add the drained canned chicken, chunked cream cheese, buffalo hot sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to combine them evenly.
- Cook the dip: Cover the crockpot and set it to low heat for 3-4 hours or high heat for 1-2 hours. Stir the dip frequently, approximately every 30 minutes, to help the cream cheese melt smoothly and ensure all the flavors are well incorporated. Once melted and bubbling, it’s ready to serve.
Notes
- Using chunked cream cheese helps the dip melt without clumping.
- Stirring frequently prevents burning and promotes even cooking.
- For a thicker dip, cook longer on low heat; for faster preparation, use the high setting but monitor closely.
- Serve warm with celery sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers for dipping.
- This dip can be prepared ahead and reheated gently in the crockpot or microwave.
