Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12.5 oz canned chicken breast
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 4 oz Colby Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Combine Ingredients: In a 3-quart or 6-quart crock pot, add the canned chicken breast, softened cream cheese, shredded Colby Jack cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Distribute all ingredients evenly to ensure the dip cooks uniformly and flavors meld well.
  2. Cook the Dip: Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients. Set the crock pot to the LOW setting and cook for 1½ to 2 hours until the dip is heated through. If using a 6-quart crock pot, it will be ready in about 1½ hours. Stir the dip a couple of times during cooking to prevent sticking and promote even heating.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: Once the dip is hot and well mixed, serve it immediately. Pair with your favorite dippers such as tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, bell pepper slices, cucumber rounds, or warm pita bread for a delicious party appetizer.

Notes

  • You can substitute canned chicken with 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken or cooked shredded chicken breasts (drain excess liquid).
  • If cream cheese isn’t softened, microwave in 15-second intervals or cut into small cubes for faster softening in the crock pot.
  • For a quicker option, cook on HIGH for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes.
  • Add extra flavor by stirring in 1/4 to 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles or diced jalapeños.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Rewarm leftovers in the microwave in 30-second intervals or in the slow cooker on LOW for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
