Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total: 1 hour 35 minutes
Yield:8

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken cooked, shredded - about 2 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts (weighing about 1 ½ pounds uncooked)
  • 12 ounces cream cheese see Notes
  • ½ cup ranch dressing see Notes
  • ¾ cup Frank's red hot sauce or regular hot sauce of choice
  • ¼ cup butter see Notes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese for garnish optional, see Notes
  • green onions for garnish, optional
  • tortilla chips crostini, or parmesan crisps, for serving
  • celery sticks and carrot sticks for serving

Instructions

  • 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. Garnish with blue cheese crumbles and sliced green onions. Serve with chips, crostini, or parmesan crisps and celery sticks or carrot sticks.

Notes

  • Make it Paleo/Dairy Free: Sub the cream cheese with a good-quality dairy-free cream cheese like Kite Hill. Use ghee for paleo, and a dairy-free butter for dairy free. Skip the blue cheese crumbles for both, or use dairy-free blue cheese crumbles for dairy free. Use a store-bought paleo/dairy-free ranch dressing, or make your own.
