Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip

KelBel's Note:

This is THE BEST buffalo chicken dip. I have brought this to many parties and it gets finished up quickly. It is great for those watching their carbs. If you use reduced fat products, it's not bad for those watching their fat.

Ahhh yes. This recipe is great. One difference, though, is that I just put it everything in the crockpot (and don't bother with the skillet). I also leave a bit of shredded cheese to mix in later for when it's been heated a while. The mixture for my small (2 qt?) crockpot comes to 1 cup chicken, 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup dressing, 3/4 cup shredded cheese (or maybe a little more).

This was awesome!!! was what my DH said. Took it to a party and there was nothing left. Made it pretty close to the directions except I heated things in the microwave and put it on high first to finish heating through as I was running late on time. Making it again for New Year's. Definite keeper recipe!

This was great--though I did make a couple of changes. I used 1.75 lbs of boiled, shredded chicken, the whole bottle of blue cheese dressing, and 2 cups of shredded cheese mixed in. I also put everything in the crock pot and let it melt together for a few hours, rather than using the stove top. The only hint I have, is don't let this overcook--it will still taste great, but the cheddar will seperate. A fantastic dip!!!
