Ingredients Needed For Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Dip

  • Cream Cheese– cut into cubes so it will melt more easily.
  • Cooked Chicken– I use rotissierie chicken but you can use any cooked chicken.
  • BBQ Sauce– see below.
  • Bacon– cooked and crumbled.
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese– for best flavor grate your own.
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Garlic Powder
  • Green Onions– chopped red onion can be used instead.
  • Cilantro– optional. If you don’t like cilantro, don’t use it.

Type Of BBQ Sauce To Use

I like one that adds some sweetness so that it tastes like the dip version of BBQ Chicken Pizza. I typically use Sweet Baby Rays or KC Masterpiece. How much or how little BBQ Sauce you use is really up to you. I like to add about 3/4 cup of sauce to the dip and then drizzle about another 1/4 cup on top just before serving.

Suggested Equipment

  • Cheese Grater– This is the perfect cheese grater.
  • 4-quart Slow Cooker– I love the size and shape of this 4-quart Slow Cooker.

Cooking Time

Cooking time can vary greatly between slow cookers. You just need to cook it long enough for the cheese to completely melt. It should take 1 1/2 to 2 hours on LOW.

Spice It Up

To make this dip spicy, either use spicy BBQ Sauce or add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper.

Storage

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.
