Instructions
- Shred cooked chicken, a rotisserie chicken is recommended for ease.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for a smooth dip.
- In a slow cooker, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing, mixing until smooth.
- Stir in shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional celery and cayenne pepper.
- Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the chicken mixture; do not stir it in.
- Cook in the slow cooker on low for 2-3 hours or high for 1-1.5 hours, until bubbly and heated through.
- After cooking, stir vigorously until the dip is uniformly creamy and well incorporated.

Notes
For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened. A rotisserie chicken saves time and effort. This dip is excellent with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers. Adjust cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level.
