Ingredients

  • 1 pound cream cheese cut into chunks
  • 4 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken poached or rotisserie work well
  • 1 cup Frank’s Red Hot Original Sauce
  • 1 cup ranch dressing or sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 2 ounces American cheese cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

For serving:

  • blue cheese crumbles
  • Tortilla chips
  • celery
  • carrots
  • toasted baguette slices

Instructions

  • Place the cream cheese, chicken, hot sauce, ranch dressing, half the shredded cheddar and all of the American cheese in the crock pot or slow-cooker. Gently stir to combine then cover the crock pot with a lid.
  • Cook on HIGH for 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours or until hot and bubbly. Stir to combine then reduce the heat to low. Top with the remaining cheddar and sliced green onions and heat until melted.
  • Serve with chips, celery, toasted baguette slices and blue cheese crumbles.

For oven baked Buffalo Chicken Dip

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine the cream cheese and hot sauce in a medium bowl and microwave until the cream cheese is very soft, about 2 minutes. Add the American cheese and stir to combine. Microwave again for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir. Repeat as needed until smooth. Add the chicken and ranch dressing.
  • Pour the mixture into a shallow 3-quart baking dish lightly coated with vegetable cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with shredded cheddar. Bake again until the cheese is melted and the dip is bubbling, about 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.

Notes

  • Refrigerate leftovers and reheat gently in the microwave.
