Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or poached)
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
Instructions
- Cut the softened cream cheese into small cubes. If still hard, microwave for 30 seconds until soft but not melted.
- Add the cubed cream cheese, shredded chicken, and buffalo sauce directly into a slow cooker.
- Stir gently to combine. The cream cheese may not fully incorporate yet.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours. Do not cook on HIGH to prevent separation.
- After 2 hours, stir thoroughly. If lumps remain, cook for another 30 minutes and stir again until smooth and bubbly.
- Taste and adjust salt if needed, then serve warm.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps. Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture. If using canned chicken, drain well to prevent watery dip. Can be made in oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. Store leftovers in fridge for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk or broth.
