Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 1 cup (240ml) buffalo hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1 packet (1 oz or 28g) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup (120g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (60g) crumbled blue cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Cube the softened cream cheese into 1-inch chunks and scatter over the chicken.
- Pour the buffalo hot sauce over the chicken and cream cheese.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours, or on HIGH for 1.5-2 hours, until the chicken is tender.
- Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled blue cheese (if using), and milk until melted and smooth.
- Cover and cook on LOW for another 15-20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Stir before serving.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and soften it before cubing. The dip will thicken as it cools; stir in a splash of milk to thin if needed. Serve directly from the crockpot set to WARM.
