Instructions
Preparation
- If you are using rotisserie chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces. If cooking fresh, boil or poach until fully cooked, then shred.
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with Greek yogurt and ranch or blue cheese dressing until smooth.
- Stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully incorporated.
Assembly
- Place half of the shredded chicken into the crockpot, spread half the cream cheese mixture over it, then sprinkle half the cheddar. Repeat with the remaining chicken, cream cheese mixture, and cheese.
Cooking
- Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, or high for 1 hour.
Serving
- Stir everything together until creamy. Top with crumbled blue cheese if using, and keep warm on the low setting for serving.
Notes
To make lighter variations, use more Greek yogurt and less cream cheese. For a cheesy crust, transfer to an oven-safe dish, sprinkle extra cheddar, and broil for 2–3 minutes for a bubbly top. You can also add veggies like roasted corn or diced bell peppers for texture and freshness.
