  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225 g)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (120 ml)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (115 g)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (115 g)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (50 g)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (120 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped green onions or fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients (5 minutes): Shred cooked chicken if not pre-shredded. Soften cream cheese at room temperature.
  2. Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and buffalo sauce until smooth.
  3. Add Chicken and Dressings: Stir in shredded chicken and ranch dressing until coated.
  4. Season: Add garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper; mix well.
  5. Add Cheeses: Fold in sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Reserve some cheddar and mozzarella for topping.
  6. Transfer to Slow Cooker: Spoon mixture into slow cooker, smooth the top, and sprinkle reserved cheeses evenly.
  7. Cook: Set slow cooker to low and cook for 2 hours, stirring once halfway through.
  8. Check Consistency: If too thick, add a splash of milk or extra ranch dressing and stir.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions or parsley on top. Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crusty bread.

Notes

Let cream cheese come to room temperature for smooth melting. Stir halfway through cooking to prevent burning. Use fresh shredded cheese for better texture. Adjust heat by adding more buffalo sauce or ranch dressing. Keep slow cooker on warm setting when serving to maintain consistency.
