Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip is a creamy and cheesy game day appetizer made with chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and blue cheese dressing. Most recipes call for precooked chicken, but this one uses raw chicken breasts so you don't have to cook and shred chicken beforehand. Also referred to as buffalo chicken wing dip, you can serve this dip straight from the Crock Pot and keep it warm the entire party.

Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
¾ cup buffalo sauce
¼ cup butter melted
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
8 ounces cream cheese cubed
1 cup blue cheese dressing
⅓ cup blue cheese crumbles
3 green onions diced

Instructions

Add the chicken to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, melt the butter and stir in the buffalo sauce, black pepper, and onion powder until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken.
Cover and cook on high for 2½-3½ hours or low for 4-5 hours. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and shreds easily.
Remove the chicken and shred with two forks. Return to the slow cooker and add cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and blue cheese dressing. Stir until combined and cook for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted.
Stir until the cheese and sauce are fully combined and the chicken is evenly coated. Garnish with green onions and blue cheese crumbles before serving.

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.
To make this a quicker recipe, start with precooked shredded rotisserie chicken and only simmer for 1-2 hours. This recipe calls for raw chicken breasts for a more freshly cooked texture and robust buffalo flavor.
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.
