😉Hacks and hints
- I make the chicken used in this dip in my slow cooker. The instructions for that are included below. However, the laziest way to handle this recipe would be to buy pre-made chicken strips
- To ensure even flavor in every bite for a smoother texture, process chicken until it is the consistency of wet sand in a food processor or Nutribullet or personal sized blender (this is optional, you can use chicken is chunks or shreds if you like)
- I heat and serve the actual dip in a Crockpot Lil Dipper. However, it would work just as well in a small crockpot on low or warm.
- If you are a fan of uber spicy, feel free to add more buffalo sauce.
- I use slow cooker liners to cook the chicken for this recipe. This is always an optional step. I, however, use then so often that I buy them in bulk (making them less expensive per piece).

Ingredients
Buffalo Chicken dip
- ¾ lb cooked chicken breast instructions below. OR...you can be super lazy (as I usually am) and buy pre-cooked chicken
- 1 cup yogurt based blue cheese dressing

- ½ cup reduced fat blue cheese crumbles
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
- ½ cup reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese I use pre-shredded for easy mixing and melting
Chicken Breast
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 cups chicken stock
Instructions
To Cook Chicken Breast
- place slow cooker liner in slow cooker (if using).
- place breasts in slow cooker
- add chicken stock
- cook on low for 2-3 hours on high or until breast reaches an internal temperature of 165°f.
- shred or cut chicken into chunks
To Make Buffalo Chicken Dip
- place chicken into Nutribullet or food processor and grind to the consistency of wet sand. This step is optional, but it is my favorite way to eat this dip as the chicken flavor is very evenly distributed and the texture is smooth and creamy.
- place ground chicken in a bowl and add blue cheese dressing, cream cheese, blue cheese crumbles, wing sauce and shredded cheddar. mix thoroughly
- place mixture in to Lil Dipper or small crockpot and place on warm for 1 - 2 hours before serving to allow all ingredients to melt together. stir to mix
- serve warm with celery, carrots, pretzels, chips or crackers.
