Ingredients
3 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup ranch dressing
3/4 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper until completely smooth and lump-free.
2. Stir the shredded chicken and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese into the cream mixture. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese for topping.
3. Transfer the mixture to a 2-3 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours or HIGH for 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
4. Once the dip is hot and creamy, sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of cheese on top. Cover again for 15 minutes, or until melted and bubbly. Switch to the WARM setting and serve directly.
Notes
Always use softened cream cheese to prevent a grainy texture.
For a milder dip, reduce the hot sauce to 1/2 cup and replace with extra ranch.
The dip can safely stay on the WARM setting for up to 4 hours.
