Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 package dry ranch dressing powder (approximately 1 ounce)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup chopped cooked bacon, divided
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onion, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, evaporated milk, dry ranch dressing powder, onion powder, ¾ cup of the chopped cooked bacon, and cubed Velveeta cheese into your slow cooker bowl.
- Cook the Dip: Secure the lid on the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2 hours. This allows all the flavors to meld and the cheese to melt into a creamy dip.
- Stir and Garnish: After cooking, stir the dip thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup bacon and the chopped green onions on top as garnish.
- Serve Warm: Serve the dip warm alongside sliced baguette, crackers, or chips for dipping and enjoy!
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save time.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
- For a lower-fat version, substitute Velveeta with reduced-fat cheese and use light sour cream.
- Make sure cream cheese is softened to blend easily and achieve a creamy texture.
- This dip can also be kept warm in the slow cooker on the 'keep warm' setting until ready to serve.
- Serve with fresh veggies, crackers, tortilla chips, or bread slices for variety.
