buffalo chicken dip in a crock pot
ok, I'm making buffalo chicken dip this weekend, but I want to do it in the crockpot with real chicken breasts, not canned chicken. Any idea of how long I should cook the chicken to get to shredded perfection??
Also, should I cook it separate, shred it, then add the ingredients... or should I cook it with the ingredients so it 'infuses' more flavor?? TIA!

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
thanks raynes, I've done mexican like that before by baking the chicken really slow at low heat for a few hours and then shredding.... and thinking about it I did in the crockpot too, oops...
but I guess I'm not sure I should cook the chicken separate from the ranch/bleu cheese/cream cheese, etc....

Cook it separately first... either grill it (I like doing it this way - adds extra flavor to the dip), boil it, roast it... however you want really! The cooking time will differ depending on how you cook it/how big the breasts are.
Then, just dice it up! I like dicing it in semi-big chunks so you can tell it's real chicken instead of the canned crap. As you mix it in w/ the cream cheese and ranch/blue cheese and red hot, it will start shredding nicely. So you'll have a combo of shredded goodness and chunky goodness (which I like... but if you don't, just shred instead of dice!).
Okay, done with the longest explanation of crack dip ever.
Enjoy your party, it sounds like it's going to be so much fun! Can't wait to see pics of it!
