Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3–4 breasts)
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed (two 8 oz blocks)
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce (like Frank’s RedHot Original)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Cube the softened cream cheese into 1-inch pieces and scatter them over the chicken.
- Pour the buffalo wing sauce evenly over the chicken and cream cheese. Gently stir to coat the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or on high for 1.5-2 hours, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and shreds easily.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred using two forks.
- Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the dip is smooth and creamy.
- Switch the slow cooker to ‘warm’ setting and let the dip sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat cream cheese in block form, not spreadable. Frank’s RedHot Original is the recommended hot sauce. If the dip is too thin, cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes to reduce. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
