Print Recipe

A creamy, tangy, and spicy buffalo chicken dip made easy in the slow cooker, perfect for parties and game day snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 450g or 1 lb)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225g)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (120 ml)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100g)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (100g)
  • 2–3 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional add-ins: diced celery, finely chopped bell pepper, blue cheese crumbles

Instructions

  1. Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups or 450 grams). Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwaving in 15-second bursts until soft but not melted.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce (1/2 cup), ranch seasoning (about 2 tablespoons), garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon), and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup), and shredded mozzarella cheese (1 cup) to the bowl. Fold everything together gently but thoroughly.
  4. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker insert, spreading evenly. Sprinkle diced celery or green onions (2-3 sliced) on top if using.
  5. Set slow cooker to low and cook for 2 hours, stirring halfway through to help cheese melt evenly and prevent sticking.
  6. Stir the dip again before serving. If too thick, add a splash of milk or extra buffalo sauce to loosen. Garnish with extra green onions or blue cheese crumbles if desired.
  7. Keep the slow cooker on warm to maintain temperature during serving. Serve with sturdy chips, celery sticks, or warm pita wedges.

Notes

Soften cream cheese properly to avoid lumps. Stir halfway through cooking to prevent cheese from sticking and ensure even melting. Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control spice level. Use slow cooker liners for easy cleanup. Can be prepared on stovetop over low heat with frequent stirring if no slow cooker is available.
