Equipment

  • 3-quart slow cooker
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese full fat is best (softened)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream full fat is best
  • 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles divided
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken rotisserie chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 3 units green onions sliced for garnish
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley minced for garnish
  • 2 tbsp additional blue cheese crumbles for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing, sour cream, 1/4 cup of the blue cheese crumbles, chicken, buffalo wing sauce and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Stir to combine well.
  • Lightly spray a 3 quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer mixture to slow cooker and top with remaining 1 cup of cheese.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours, until hot and bubbly.
  • Sprinkle with remaining blue cheese, green onions and parsley (if using). Serve hot with tortilla chips or celery sticks.

Notes

  • Avoid using the High setting on the slow cooker to prevent the dairy from separating.
  • Hand-shredding your cheddar cheese results in a much smoother melt compared to pre-shredded varieties.
  • If the dip thickens too much while serving, stir in a tablespoon of milk to restore the creamy texture.
