Ingredients

16 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 cup Buffalo wing sauce I use Frank’s regular Buffalo wing sauce
8 oz full-fat cream cheese room temperature
8 oz Colby Jack cheese shredded
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon salt to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 oz Colby Jack cheese shredded - optional
1 tablespoon Italian parsley finely chopped

Instructions

Place the chicken in a slow cooker on the low heat setting.
Pour the buffalo sauce over the top of the chicken and place the lid on the slow cooker.
MIx to coat the chicken with the sauce.
Let the chicken cook on the low heat setting for three hours or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
When the chicken is fully cooked remove it from the slow cooker and place it in a large bowl or plate to slighty cool.
Use forks to pull the chicken.
Continue until all the chicken has been pulled.
Add the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker along with the honey, salt, and garlic powder.
Stir to thoroughly combine.
Add the softened cream cheese and shredded Colby Jack cheese to the slow cooker.
Stir until all the ingredients are fully combined.
Place the lid back on the slow cooker on low temperature and continue to cook the buffalo chicken dip for another hour. Stir as needed.
Pour the hot buffalo chicken dip into a large casserole dish (or 2-3 smaller casserole dishes).
Top the casserole with shredded Colby Jack cheese and a sprinkle of chopped Italian parsley.
*This step is optional. The dip is ready and can be served without adding additional cheese.
Place the casserole on the center rack of a 350-degree preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted.
Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure the dip has reached an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F.
Place the buffalo chicken dip in a serving bowl and serve with crackers, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or your favorite dippers.

Notes

You can also use a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of using chicken breasts. You can also use boneless skinless chicken thighs to make this recipe.

You can cook the chicken on high to speed the process up I prefer the low setting it makes the chicken easier to shred.
