Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (preferably from chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken) — more chicken recipes
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce — see appetizer recipes
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- Optional: blue cheese crumbles or ranch dressing for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare your cooking station and gather all ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Combine the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and Buffalo sauce until smooth. Add shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions, then stir well. Alternatively, assemble everything directly into the crockpot for simplicity.
- Transfer to the crockpot: Place the mixture into your Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker and spread evenly.
- Cook on low: Set the crockpot to low and cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally until heated through and bubbly.
- Finish and serve: Once bubbling and hot, garnish with additional sliced green onions, blue cheese crumbles, or ranch dressing as desired.
Notes
- Use cooked shredded chicken for the best texture and flavor. Leftover grilled or roasted chicken work great.
- Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to your spice preference—add more if you like it spicy, less if mild is preferred.
- Serve with fresh vegetables, crostini, or chips for dipping.
- Reheat leftovers in the microwave or in the crockpot on low for continued deliciousness.
