Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12.5 oz can chunk chicken breast, drained (Swanson brand recommended)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 4 oz finely shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s or Franks Wing Sauce recommended)

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the drained chunk chicken breast, softened cream cheese, shredded Colby Jack cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing into a 3-quart or 6-quart crock pot.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the cheeses and sauces are evenly distributed with the chicken.
- Cook the Dip: Set the crock pot to LOW and heat the mixture until hot and bubbly, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. If using a 6-quart crock pot, the dip will heat through in about 1.5 hours.
- Stir Occasionally: Stir the dip a couple of times during cooking to maintain even heating and prevent sticking on the edges.
- Serve: Once hot and fully combined, serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, and carrot sticks for dipping.
Notes
- This dip is perfect for parties, game days, and casual gatherings.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo wing sauce to control the spiciness to your preference.
- Using a crock pot keeps the dip warm and melty for extended serving periods.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated gently in the microwave or crock pot.
