Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
Instructions
- If using raw chicken, boil until cooked through (15-20 minutes), then shred into bite-sized pieces. If using rotisserie chicken, shred it to yield 2 cups.
- Let the block of cream cheese sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to soften. Cut into small cubes to help it soften faster.
- Place the cubed cream cheese into the slow cooker. Pour the buffalo sauce over the cream cheese, then add the shredded chicken. Do not stir yet.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 1-2 hours. Do not cook on high to prevent separation.
- After 1 hour, check the dip. It should be mostly melted but still thick. Use a silicone spatula to stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- If the dip is too thick, add a splash of milk or extra buffalo sauce. If too thin, cook for another 15 minutes.
- Serve warm. Keep on the warm setting if serving over several hours, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid grainy texture. Avoid cooking on high heat to prevent separation. This dip is naturally gluten-free if using a gluten-free buffalo sauce. Do not freeze as the texture will become grainy.
