Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Shred the Chicken: If you’re using rotisserie chicken, shred it using two forks or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure it mixes easily with the other ingredients.
- Grate the Cheeses: Shred your cheddar and mozzarella cheese if not using pre-shredded.
Mix and Cook:
- Combine the Ingredients in the Crockpot: In the crockpot, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well mixed.
- Add the Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, reserving a little of each to sprinkle on top later.
- Cook on Low or High: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 3.5 hours or on high for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the dip is hot, bubbly, and fully melted.
Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the dip and let it melt for a few minutes. Top with fresh chopped green onions, if desired.
- Serve: Serve the dip warm with your choice of chips, crackers, or fresh veggies like celery and carrots.
