Recipe Ingredients
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this amazing Slow Cooked Buffalo Chicken Dip:
- Cooked chicken (use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken)
- Cream cheese
- Buffalo wing sauce- I used Frank’s RedHot
- Cup of ranch dressing
- Colby-Jack cheese- You can use mozzarella cheese instead.
- Green onions (optional)
- Celery sticks, carrots, tortilla chips, pita chips, or bell peppers (for serving)

INGREDIENT NOTES:
- Cooked Chicken: A great way to use leftover chicken or opt for cans of chunk chicken for convenience.
- Colby-Jack Cheese: Melts beautifully for a rich, cheesy texture. Avoid using fully pre-shredded cheese for the best option, shred your own for a smoother dip.
- Ranch Dressing: Adds a creamy, tangy base that balances the spice of the buffalo sauce.
