Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz block cream cheese (cut into cubes)
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker.
- Pour buffalo sauce and ranch dressing over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours until chicken reaches 165°F and shreds easily.
- Shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks.
- Sprinkle cream cheese cubes over the shredded chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 30-45 minutes, stirring vigorously until cream cheese is melted and smooth.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and let melt for 5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with green onions and serve warm.
Notes
Use block cream cheese, not spreadable, to prevent a watery dip. Ensure chicken is fully cooked before shredding. If the dip is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or ranch. If too runny, cook uncovered on high for 30 minutes.
