Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 3 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup Buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
Toppings
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- Freshly chopped chives, for garnish
For Serving
- Sliced baguette
- Celery sticks
- Carrot sticks
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large slow cooker, add the shredded rotisserie chicken, cream cheese blocks, shredded cheddar cheese, Buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing. Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly, ensuring an even mixture.
- Cook Low and Slow: Set the slow cooker to low and cook the mixture for 3 hours. This slow cooking melts the cream cheese and cheddar completely and allows the flavors to blend smoothly, resulting in a creamy, spicy dip.
- Add Toppings: Once heated through and fully melted, sprinkle the top with crumbled blue cheese and freshly chopped chives to enhance the flavor and add freshness.
- Serve: Serve the dip warm alongside sliced baguette, celery sticks, and carrot sticks. It makes a perfect appetizer or party snack.
Notes
- Using a rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor, but you can cook and shred your own chicken if preferred.
- If you prefer a milder dip, reduce the amount of Buffalo sauce.
- The dip can be kept warm in the slow cooker on the low setting for serving over several hours.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the slow cooker or microwave.
- For a thicker dip, you can add more cream cheese or reduce the amount of ranch dressing slightly.
