Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie or cooked)
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
- 8 oz full-fat block-style cream cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Cut the cream cheese into 4-5 large cubes to ensure smooth melting.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce and ranch dressing until uniform.
- Add the shredded chicken to the sauce mixture and toss to coat. Spread the cream cheese cubes on top.
- Transfer everything to a slow cooker. Cover and cook on High for 2-3 hours or Low for 4-5 hours until the cream cheese is melted and the dip is hot.
- Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to melt, then stir until smooth.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crusty bread.
Notes
Use full-fat block cream cheese for the best texture; avoid spreadable tubs. If the dip is too thick, add a splash of milk or ranch. If too thin, cook uncovered longer. Do not freeze as dairy may separate. Can be made in oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
