Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by lining your slow cooker with sliced onions at the bottom for added flavor. Pour in about a cup of chicken broth to keep everything moist.
  2. Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts directly on top of the broth and onions. Cover and set to high heat for 2.5 hours.
  3. After cooking, carefully remove the chicken and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Discard the broth and onions and return the chicken to the slow cooker.
  4. With the slow cooker set to low, add the cream cheese, ranch or blue cheese dressing, hot sauce, cheddar, and mozzarella to the shredded chicken. Mix until well combined.
  5. Stir to ensure even distribution of ingredients, cover the slow cooker, and let the dip cook on low for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Once fully cooked, stir the dip one last time to combine. Serve warm alongside raw veggies or chips.
