Print Recipe

A creamy, cheesy slow cooker dip combining shredded chicken, ranch seasoning, and a blend of cheeses, perfect for parties and easy weeknight gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 450g or 1 lb)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 ounce or 28g)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (115g)
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (60g)
  • ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon bits (50g), optional
  • ½ cup sour cream (120ml)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (1.5g)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: If not using pre-cooked chicken, boil or roast about 2 large chicken breasts (around 1 pound or 450g). Once cooked, shred finely with forks or a mixer (10-15 minutes).
  2. Mix the base: In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1 packet ranch seasoning mix. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Combine in slow cooker: Add shredded chicken, cream cheese mixture, ½ cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheddar, ½ cup shredded mozzarella, ½ cup cooked bacon bits, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder to the slow cooker. Stir gently but thoroughly.
  4. Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on low for 2 hours. Stir halfway through to prevent sticking and help cheese melt evenly. Dip should be bubbling and creamy when done.
  5. Final touches: Stir again after cooking. If too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons milk or chicken broth to loosen. Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh herbs if desired.
  6. Serve warm: Transfer to serving bowl or serve straight from slow cooker with crackers, chips, or sliced veggies.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth blending. Stir halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and burning. If slow cooker runs hot, cook on low to avoid curdling cheese. Can be made dairy-free or vegetarian with substitutions. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and freeze for up to 2 months.
