Notes

Shred your chicken using a stand mixer and the paddle attachment to make it easier. Place the cooked chicken in the bowl of your mixer and use the paddle attachment on low speed to shred the chicken.
Use precooked chicken, like a grocery store rotisserie chicken or canned chicken, to cut down on the cooking time. Add the cooked chicken directly to the slow cooker with the other ingredients and cook for 1-2 hours on high.
Get the best consistency for this buffalo chicken dip by shredding a block of fresh cheese so it melts evenly.
If your dip is too thin, you can add more cream cheese to the crock pot to thicken it up. And if it’s too thick, add more buffalo sauce to thin it out.
