The simple Pioneer Woman Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip strikes the ideal mix between the bold flavor of buffalo and the refreshing, tangy ranch that it is traditionally served with. This delicious chicken Slow Cooker dip is impossible to mess up since it’s topped with blue cheese and has blue cheese, cheddar, and silky cream cheese. The only thing missing to make it the ideal munchie is the satisfying crunch of a chip or vegetable.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• It is always one of the most popular options. It meets people’s need for spicy food without requiring them to spend a significant amount of money or time on the preparation of buffalo wings. In addition to that, who doesn’t enjoy a tasty dip?
• Due to the simplicity of the dish, it can be prepared in the slow cooker while you concentrate on preparing other items, such as sliders, snacks, or other foods that you plan to offer.
• The remaining dip is wonderful, and it may be repurposed in many ways to give it a new flavor profile.

Pioneer Woman Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients

• Shredded Cooked Chicken. For this dish, my go-to choice is shredded chicken cooked in a slow cooker; however, you could also use chicken from a rotisserie, leftover chicken, poached chicken, or any other type of pre-cooked chicken.
• Cream Cheese. If you want the greatest results, choose a cream cheese that is full-fat rather than low-fat one, because the low-fat version may cause the dip to be runnier.
• Ranch Dressing. I utilize hidden valley ranch.
• Buffalo Sauce. You may use whichever brand of buffalo wing sauce you like, but my personal preference is Frank’s. However, you should utilize homemade buffalo sauces with caution since they can occasionally split, which can make your dip more runny or oily and should be avoided at all costs.
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese. Although I personally think that cheddar is the greatest option for buffalo chicken dip, you are more than welcome to use any other type of cheese that you choose. Just make sure it is a cheese that melts well so that you don’t mess up the consistency of the creamy dip that you are making.
• Crumbled Blue Cheese. Topping that is optional.
• Sliced Scallions. Also known as green onions, this vegetable can be used as a topping.

Can I Make Buffalo Chicken Dip Milder?

Instead of modifying the recipe for your Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip, I would propose presenting it with other items that allow folks to customize the spicy level to their preference. People who want a less robust flavor can consume the dip with an increased amount of cream cheese. If you want the dip to have more kick, serve it with some buffalo sauce on the side for people to drizzle on top.

How Can I Thicken My Buffalo Chicken Dip?

If you find that your Buffalo Chicken Dip has a greater amount of liquid than you would like, you may adjust the consistency by adding additional cheese or chicken.

Which Cheese Pairs Best With Buffalo Chicken?

Although blue cheese and buffalo chicken go well together for many people, I like to make this dish using cheddar cheese. In my opinion, it adds just the proper amount of bite to this recipe while simultaneously masking the blue cheese flavor that some people find off-putting. The only person who doesn’t enjoy cheddar cheese is the one who invented it!
