Can I make Buffalo Chicken Dip in the Slow Cooker?

Yes!

Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker. Set on high for 5 hours or low for 8 hours.
Shred the chicken when the time is up and then stir to combine everything.
Add a layer of cheese on top, then close the lid and leave for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted! Serve!

How to make Healthier Buffalo Chicken Dip:

Buffalo chicken dip is really not a health food, but there are a few ways to save some calories and fat grams!

Instead of using full fat cream cheese, use 1/3 less fat cream cheese. This saves calories and fat.
Reduce the shredded cheese by 25%. I don't recommend using low fat cheese because this will not melt well in your dip.
Serve with healthier options like low carb tortillas, celery sticks, and carrot sticks. Sliced cucumbers and peppers would also be a great way to serve the buffalo chicken dip.

While still not 'healthy', this will definitely lighten up the dip.

Course: Appetizer

Cuisine: American

Keyword: instant pot buffalo chicken dip

Servings: 10 1/2 cup servings

Calories: 267 kcal

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 cup buffalo wing sauce, (see notes for recipe)
3/4 cup ranch dressing
3/4 cup shredded colby jack cheese
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 stalks green onions, chopped

Add buffalo sauce and ranch dressing to the instant pot. Add chicken. Close the instant pot and place the pressure valve in the sealed position. Set the pot on manual/high pressure and set the timer for 10 minutes.
After the time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes (do not flip the valve). After 5 minutes, release the remaining pressure by flipping the valve. Careful as steam will come out of the top of the pot. Open the lid.
Using 2 forks shred the chicken. You can also use a hand mixer on low speed to shred the chicken.
Add cream cheese and 1/2 cup colby jack and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (**reserve 1/4 cup of each cheese) to the Instant Pot. Mix until melted and completely combined.
*Pre-heat oven to broil.
Transfer the dip to an oven safe baking dish. Add remaining shredded cheese over the top of the dip. Place in oven and broil for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and top with chopped green onions. Serve warm with bread, chips, celery or carrot sticks!

*Broiling is optional. You can serve the dip straight out of the Instant Pot as well, without broiling.

**If you don't plan to broil the dip, add all the shredded cheese and mix well.
