This Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip is a creamy, spicy, and cheesy appetizer perfect for parties or casual gatherings. Made with shredded chicken, reduced-fat cheeses, Greek yogurt ranch, and Frank’s RedHot sauce, it delivers bold buffalo flavor with a healthier twist. The dip is slow-cooked to melt all the ingredients into a smooth, rich treat, then mixed with crunchy celery and sweet onion for added texture. Serve warm and garnish with green onions for a crowd-pleasing snack that’s easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups shredded boneless, skinless chicken breast (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel cheese)
  • 6 tablespoons reduced-fat, Greek yogurt-based ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup diced sweet onion

Optional Garnish

  • Thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small, appetizer-sized slow cooker (about 1 1/2-quart capacity), mix the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Greek yogurt ranch dressing, and Frank’s RedHot sauce thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Cook Dip: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook the mixture for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the cheddar cheese is fully melted and the dip is hot and creamy. (For faster cooking, use a higher setting and monitor closely.)
  3. Incorporate Vegetables: Before serving, stir the cooked dip to ensure smooth and even consistency. Then fold in the diced celery and sweet onion to keep their crunchy texture. Alternatively, you can add the celery and onion at the start for a softer texture, if preferred.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Transfer to a serving dish or keep in the crockpot on the ‘warm’ setting. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions if desired. Serve warm with your favorite dipping chips or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor.
  • Reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel) is used for a lighter dip without sacrificing creaminess.
  • Greek yogurt-based ranch dressing adds tanginess and reduces fat compared to traditional ranch.
  • The celery and onion are added at the end to maintain crunch; add at the beginning if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • To keep the dip warm during a party, switch the slow cooker to the ‘warm’ setting after cooking.
