Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts lean protein
- 1 small yellow onion, sliced into 1 inch rounds adds flavor
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or chicken bone broth provides moisture
- 8 ounces cream cheese, sliced into 4 cubes adds creaminess
- 3/4 cup ranch dressing or creamy blue cheese brings creaminess and tang
- 1/4 cup hot sauce adds heat
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded adds flavor
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded contributes stretchiness
- optional: raw veggies, pretzels, or crackers for dipping for serving

Instructions
Preparation
- Line the bottom of your slow cooker with the sliced onion and add the chicken broth.
- Place the chicken breasts on top of the onions in the slow cooker. Cover the pot and set the cooker to high, allowing the chicken to cook for 2.5 hours.
- After the chicken has cooked, transfer it onto a plate to cool slightly. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- Remove the cooked onions from the slow cooker but reserve the broth. Carefully drain any excess liquid.
- Turn the slow cooker to low and set the timer for 30 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker along with the cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
- Allow the dip to cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Taste the dip before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
Use quality chicken broth for richer flavor and ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. Stir occasionally while cooking to help incorporate all ingredients.
