Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this recipe. They're lean and cook quickly in the slow cooker.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality buffalo sauce. The buffalo sauce is the key ingredient in this dip, so make sure you use a good one. Look for a sauce that is made with real cayenne pepper and butter, and that has a good balance of heat and flavor.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Once the dip is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include blue cheese crumbles, celery, carrots, and ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

This lightened-up slow cooker chicken buffalo dip is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for parties and game days. It's made with lean chicken, healthy Greek yogurt, and a flavorful buffalo sauce. You can customize the dip to your liking by adding your favorite toppings. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing dip, give this recipe a try.
