Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip

One of my favorite party dips is buffalo chicken dip! I make it a lot when I go to parties or events. I seem to always get asked to make this dip. I love it because it reminds me of chicken wings which I LOVE! You can easily adjust the spice level on the dip.

There are a few different variations out there. I traditionally bake mine in the oven vs use a crockpot. However, I LOVE the idea of the crockpot because you can keep in there to serve and it will remain warm. See the notes after the recipe for tips on baking, making ahead of time and what chicken to use! Enjoy!

Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip

Ingredients:
3 cups cooked chicken, (canned chicken, rotisserie chicken or 2 chicken breasts shredded)
2 8 oz packages cream cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup Frank’s Red Hot (more or less based on taste)
1 cup Ranch salad dressing

Directions: Preheat oven to 375. In a deep sauté pan add in hot sauce on medium heat. Add in the cream cheese and heat until melted. Add in Ranch and mix well. Fold in the cheese and let it melt slightly. Stir in the chicken to completely coat. Add the chicken mixture to an oven safe dish. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and completely warmed through. Serve with celery, crackers or your choice of chips.

Note: You can make ahead and bake when needed. Just add about 10-15 minutes to cooking time when the dip is refrigerator cold. You can use any kind of chicken you’d like. If you’d prefer you can add all these ingredients to a crockpot and cook on low 2-3 hours. This is great for a party if you want to keep the dip warm.

Buffalo Shredded Chicken (Crockpot Recipe)

This shredded buffalo chicken recipe is so easy to make in the crockpot! The meat is so versatile you can use this meat so many ways. I actually made for my brother as he loves buffalo chicken. It can easily be used to make a buffalo chicken sandwich or wrap. You can eat on it’s own or top it over rice and noodles or you can also make into enchiladas. If you love buffalo wings this recipe is for you. To keep a little less fattening I didn’t add any liquid dressings like ranch or blue cheese. I used low fat cream cheese. It comes out so delicious!!

Crockpot Buffalo Shredded Chicken

Ingredients:
4lb chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
2-3 cups Buffalo wing sauce
1 Ranch packet seasoning
8 oz reduced cream cheese, cut in cubes

Directions: Add a crockpot bag liner to your crockpot. (See link below for what I use from Amazon) Add in your chicken breasts. Using half the seasoning packet of Ranch sprinkle both sides of chicken. Let cook on low 2 hours.

After the 2 hours add in and cover the chicken breast completely with buffalo sauce. Let cook another 2-3 hours on low until the chicken is fully cooked. (Note: It may be less, or more time depending on the thickness of the breasts, Mine were pretty thick.)

Remove chicken from the crockpot and add to a large bowl. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken completely.

Add chicken back into the crock pot and add in the chunks of cream cheese and mix well. Sprinkle on the rest of the ranch seasoning. Let cook another 15-30 minutes until the cream cheese is completely melted. Mix well. Remove from crock put and enjoy. Serve however you like. This recipe is also great for the freezer.
