Slow Cooker Buffalo chicken Dip

If you’ve ever had Publix buffalo chicken dip you know how delicious it is. Did you know you could make a similar version right at home? You totally can and it’s a delicious creamy with cream cheese bite of goodness. Serve with chips or vegetables this chicken breast dip is always a hit. (affiliate links present)

Buffalo Chicken Dip with Rotisserie Chicken

Yes of course you can make this as a leftover chicken breast recipe or cook fresh meat until you get your precooked boiled shredded chicken. I buy one of these babies to make it even easier to throw together. However you cut it this is what this goodness starts with, and you should add a lot of it. The more there is the thicker and heartier it is.

If you need to make this in a baking dish in the oven without cream cheese because of dietary restrictions, follow our dairy free buffalo chicken dip recipe. It will certainly taste different than what you’d buy at Publix grocery store but it’s as close as we could come without any dairy products.

Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip

Yes we made ours in a slow cooker. Why? Because I use my pressure cooker, air fryer and this for everything. I mean, like it’s rare I ever use my oven to cook anything anymore.

Plus for hot dip recipes this works so well to keep it warm for hours while people mingle around for get togethers. This is what we used to make this pot of YUM:

  1. Cooked shredded chicken and cream cheese
  2. Hot sauce
  3. Shredded cheddar cheese
  4. Blue cheese crumbles
  5. Sour cream
  6. 1/2 cup Ranch dressing, the liquid not the dry mix
  7. You could add diced green onions on the top when served

When serving on game days have celery sticks, tortilla chips and this is how to make bruschetta toast on the side. Perfect hot and bubbly creation to enjoy during Super Bowl parties.

  • Spray inside of slow cooker with non stick spray. In a bowl blend together your room temperature cream cheese bricks, ranch dressing, sour cream and blue cheese.
  • Spread these ingredients into the slow cooker, top with precooked shredded chicken. Pour buffalo sauce on top with 1 cup of your shredded cheeses (cheddar or Mexican blend is great if you can find it) on the very top.
  • Cover and cook dip on low for 2-3 hours until the cheese on top has melted and dip is warmed in the center. Uncover and top with rest of your cheese.

I would use a 6 quart slow cooker for this, no less. If you were doubling it you’d need to increase the timing too in order for it to warm all the way to the center. It’s much better warmed.

What to do with Leftover Buffalo Chicken Dip

You know I hate to waste food and throwing it away just pains me. Think outside of the box y’all because this can be served up lots of other ways. A cheap way is to make dinner with it the next day stuffed inside baked potatoes! I mean…..yum right?

  • Smear it inside some tortillas with extra fresh cheese to make some air fryer quesadillas for lunch.
  • Serve sliders for lunch using those sweet Hawaiian rolls and this inside.
  • Use some of the leftover naan you served this with initially and make individual pizzas with this instead of sauce.
