Tips and Variations
Here are some simple tips and ways you can change it up to make this appetizer just the way you like it!
Chicken: Leftover cooked chicken breasts are perfect for this recipe, but using a rotisserie chicken makes this dip even easier!
Cheese: The Velveeta gives this dip the creamiest slow-cooked texture, but feel free to use 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese if you prefer.
Bacon: Cut down on time and use pre-cooked bacon slices. Pop it in the microwave, chop it up, and your bacon is ready in no time!
Make it Spicy: Add some diced jalapeños or a few shakes of hot sauce to make it spicy and give it a little kick!
Bake it: If you’d rather bake the dip, make my original crack chicken dip! It’s a similar recipe that gets baked in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
Dipping Ideas: We like bagel chips, but feel free to use anything you want for dipping! Try crostini, crackers, chips, veggies, or a sliced baguette.
Storing and Reheating Leftover Dip
Crack chicken dip in the slow cooker is so effortless to throw together, and it’s great as a leftover, too. It’s one of my favorites to make for a party because you can keep it on warm in the crock pot, so it stays perfectly heated the entire time!
In the Refrigerator: Once your dip has cooled, place it in a sealed airtight container. It will last in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days.
To Reheat: If you want to warm this dip back up, place it in the slow cooker for about 30 minutes on low or until heated through. Or, you can reheat it in the microwave until warm.
