Instructions
Buffalo Chicken Dip in the oven
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, chicken, cheddar, mozzarella, sour cream, ranch seasoning, green onion bottoms, garlic salt, onion powder and hot sauce. Mix well until everything is well combined.
Add to a heat safe oven baking dish and top with the additional mozzarella, cheddar and blue cheese, if desired. Add on the green onion tops too.
Bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot with chips, celery or bread!
Cooking the Chicken in the slow cooker or pressure cooker
Add the chicken to the slow cooker or the pressure cooker with one cup of chicken broth. Add in garlic powder, garlic salt, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper.
In the pressure cooker (Instant Pot), cover, lock and set timer for chicken and increase it to 20 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes when done.
In the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. You can do this overnight if you want. It's important that it cooks for at least 8 hours to shred properly.
Remove the chicken from the cooker and shred. Discard the broth in the pot and add the chicken to the dip mix.
