I’ve taken my Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken recipe and turned it into a second recipe…dip! I love using a recipe in more than one way and this one is a perfect fit for such a lofty goal.

Several years ago, I created my version of buffalo chicken, cooked low and slow in the crockpot. It’s a winner! I make it when I’m feeding a crowd, when I’m entertaining and when I need a no-stress weeknight meal. After making it a few weeks ago, I had some leftovers, so, I decided to turn it into a dip.

How To Make This Recipe

The recipe came together in no time since I had all the necessary ingredients right in the fridge. I mixed my leftover Buffalo Chicken with some cream cheese, cheddar, and sour cream. I added a bit more wing sauce, topped every off with more cheese, and baked the dish for about 30 minutes. The outcome was awesome!

How To Make Buffalo Chicken

My recipe for making Buffalo Chicken is super easy since it’s made in the slow cooker.

Cut butter in chunks and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place chicken breasts on top of the butter. Make sure to use thawed chicken. Using frozen chicken is not recommended for use in the crockpot. The chicken will spend too long in the “danger zone” at room temperature as it thaws and can grow bacteria.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning over the chicken breasts.
Pour a whole bottle of buffalo wing sauce over all ingredients. Place the lid on the crock pot, set temperature and time.
When chicken is cooked, shred with two forks.
Add in sour cream and mix everything together.
