Slow Cooker Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Ranch Dip

This is such a great meal to serve at parties, potlucks, or simply for dinner! If you don't have a slow cooker, you can do this in a pot, but I love the ease of the recipe and that it takes a shorter time to cook compared to others!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 2.5 hours
Serves: 4+

Items Needed:

• Slow cooker
• Measuring Tools

Ingredients:

• 1lb chicken breasts (thin sliced - cooks faster)
• 3 8oz packages of cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup of shredded colby jack cheese
• 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce (we use Sweet Baby Ray's, but RedHot is good too)
• 3 green onions, diced, separate whites & greens
• 2 ribs celery, diced (smaller the better)
• 1 1oz or 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning packet
• 3/4 cup of ranch dressing OR bleu cheese dressing
• 8oz or 1 cup of sour cream
• Tortilla chips, crackers, or veggies for serving with!
  

Directions:

1. In the crock pot add your chicken and seasoning with HALF of the ranch seasoning packet (or 1 tablespoon). Add in just the onion whites. Cook on high for 2 hours.
2. After 2 hours of cooking, the chicken should be done. Remove the chicken and shred it with a knife and fork. Then add it back to the pot.
3. Add the following into the pot: cream cheese, shredded cheeses, buffalo sauce, the other half of the ranch seasoning, sour cream, and the ranch or bleu cheese dressing. Stir well! Cook for 30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, add in the celery & green onions. Stir again.
5. Turn off slow cooker or set to warm and serve!

Note: Pepper jack cheese is a great substitute if you like spicy or peppers! You can add more cheese & buffalo sauce to taste as well! Do NOT add salt to this recipe. Ranch seasoning has a lot of salt already in it and it tastes very salty with any added salt!
