Why This Recipe Works

The slow cooker slow-cooks the chicken to tender perfection, making it easy to shred and incorporates moisture evenly throughout the dip.
The combination of shredded cheese, sour cream, and hot sauce results in the creamiest, most flavorful Buffalo chicken dip you’ve ever tasted.
By cooking the dip in the slow cooker, the cheese and sour cream melt together seamlessly, blending the flavors and creating a consistency that’s beyond words.

Key Ingredients

A key factor in any good Buffalo chicken dip is the quality of your chicken. I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for optimal tenderness and moisture retention. For that signature spicy kick, I rely on Frank’s RedHot sauce. Make sure you choose a good quality sour cream to balance out the heat.

Though generic-sounding, a well-made creamy dip relies on sharp cheddar cheese to elevate it beyond increasingly bland expectations. Real cheese differs from fake cheese products in visible fat content, intense flavor, and the nutritional quality it brings to the table. Sweet!

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup ranch dressing

1 cup shredded cheese

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1 tsp garlic powder

Directions

Place the chicken, ranch dressing, shredded cheese, sour cream, Frank’s RedHot sauce, cheddar cheese, green onions, and garlic powder in the slow cooker. Stir until well combined.

Cook the mixture on low for 25 minutes or high for 15 minutes. When the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, remove the lid and shred the chicken with two forks.

Replace the lid and let the dip simmer for 5 more minutes until completely heated through. Remove from heat and transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Enjoy while warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or pita chips.

Prefer a tangy variation? Add in 1/4 cup of chopped blue cheese crumbles to the dip. To add some crunch, sprinkle chopped chopped peanuts or chopped bacon bits over the top of the dip.

Let it sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or pita chips. Enjoy a delicious homemade Buffalo chicken dip, only a slow cooker away!

Storage & Reheating

Transfer the leftover dip to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze it for up to 2 months. Reheat it by covering the container with a damp cloth and microwaving it for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or by gently heating it in the slow cooker until warm through. The leftover dip will be sufficiently grabbed quickly when watching a sporting event or enrolling in family gatherings.
