Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip

This buffalo chicken dip is super creamy and rich, perfectly spicy, and oh so easy! Made in the slow cooker or Crockpot, it’s a tailgating favorite and a perfect appetizer.

What Makes This Recipe So Good

• This buffalo chicken dip is really creamy, rich, and super moist. Serve it with crunchy tortilla chips, crostini, or celery for an amazing contrast.
• This recipe really couldn’t be any easier! Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker or Crockpot. Cook on low for 1 ½-2 hours or on high for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, or until hot, melted, and bubbly.
• I love my slow cooker, it’s just so easy to dump all of the ingredients in and then just forget about it until you are ready to serve! You can also keep the buffalo chicken dip warm in your slow cooker if you are not ready to serve it right away.

Serving Suggestions

To make this dip a real show stopper, I like to garnish it with blue cheese crumbles and sliced green onions. Serve it up with chips, crostini, or parmesan crisps and celery sticks or carrot sticks.

Is It Healthy?

This buffalo chicken dip recipe is not only tasty, but it’s also low carb and keto. It makes enough for eight servings, and each serving is under 400 calories and high in protein, with only 3g total carbs!

How Long Does it Last?

Good news! It’ll keep, covered in the fridge, for around 4 to 5 days, so it’s great to make ahead of time and you don’t have to throw leftovers out! It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop – because it has chicken in it, you should only reheat it once.

Chef’s Tips

• Use organic chicken raised without antibiotics and organic dairy to make this buffalo chicken dip a bit healthier! You can also make this dairy free and paleo if needed. I’ve got instructions on that in the recipe card below!
• Use a slow cooker liner for almost zero cleanup. You’re welcome.
• You can cook the chicken breasts for this recipe in the oven, slow cooker, or Instant Pot, and shred them using your favorite method. Not sure what the best way is? Don’t worry! I’ve covered 5 different ways to shred chicken in this post!
• To save even more time, you can use a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your chicken from raw. Just pull the meat off the bones and shred it as desired! Be careful that you don’t accidentally get any bones in the buffalo chicken dip.
