Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12.5 oz can chunk chicken breast, drained (Swanson brand recommended)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 4 oz finely shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s or Franks Wing Sauce recommended; add more for extra spiciness)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing

For Serving

  • Tortilla chips
  • Carrots
  • Celery

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Drain the canned chunk chicken breast thoroughly. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a 3-quart or 6-quart crock pot, add the drained chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded Colby Jack cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing.
  3. Stir and Heat: Stir all ingredients well to combine evenly. Set your crock pot to LOW heat.
  4. Cook: Let the mixture cook for 1.5 to 2 hours on LOW, stirring a couple of times during the cooking process for even heating. For a 6-quart crock pot, the dip will be ready after about 1.5 hours.
  5. Serve: Once hot and melted, serve the buffalo chicken dip warm with tortilla chips, carrots, and celery for dipping.

Notes

  • For more spice, add extra buffalo wing sauce according to your heat preference.
  • Use a 3-quart crock pot for smaller servings or a 6-quart for larger gatherings.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the dip.
  • Try substituting Colby Jack with cheddar or Monterey Jack if preferred.
  • This dip can be kept warm in the crock pot on LOW during your event.
