Ingredients

  • 4 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (see note)
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (shred your own for best results)
  • 1 cup hot sauce (we recommend Frank’s RedHot for this recipe)
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions (plus more for topping, if desired)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

For serving:

  • crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • sliced green onions (optional)
  • celery sticks, tortilla chips, baguette slices, or Ritz crackers (choose any dippers you like)

Instructions

  • Spray the inside of a large crockpot (5 to 6 quart) with nonstick cooking spray for easy clean up.
  • Put the ingredients into the crockpot in the order listed: shredded chicken breast, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, ranch dressing, sour cream, green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder. The ingredients should be in layers; don't stir everything together.

Notes

  • Cooked chicken: You’ll need 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded, to make 4 cups. Try Instant Pot shredded chicken.
  • Adjust spice level: You can adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your preferred level of spiciness. Feel free to add more or less according to your taste.
  • Pro tip: If you cook the dip longer than 3 hours or cook it on High, the dip may separate and not look as creamy. It will still taste great!
