This Slow Cooker Chicken Queso Dip is an easy and addicting party dip made with shredded chicken, cheese, green chiles, tomatoes, green onions, and lots of spice!

If you love hot dips like Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip and Cheeseburger Dip then you’ll go crazy over this Queso Dip loaded with chicken!

This Slow Cooker Chicken Queso Dip is an easy and addicting party dip made with shredded chicken, cheese, green chiles, tomatoes, green onions, and lots of spice!

I’ve always been the girl at the party standing around the slow cooker or bowl full of dip, I can’t help it, they’re all just so addicting. Especially when it’s a dip that’s as creamy and cheesy and delicious as this Chicken Queso Dip!

Queso has always been a serious weakness of mine, I can’t resist ordering it every time we go out for Mexican food. And I try to make it at least a couple of times a year at home. It’s super easy to whip up with a batch of margaritas to serve on game days!

Slow Cooker Chicken Queso Dip Recipe

What Is Queso Dip?

Queso is short for Chile con queso, which is a thick sauce of melted cheese seasoned with chili peppers, typically served warm as a dip for tortilla chips.

What Kind of Cheese Do You Use In Queso Dip?

That’s the beauty of queso, it’s just thick melted cheese and you can choose whatever cheese you’d like! Most recipes include more than one kind of cheese, cheddar cheese being the most popular option.

This recipe is made with Velveeta (which technically isn’t a cheese) and 4 Cheese Mexican cheese which is a quick-melting blend of Monterey Jack, Mild Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla and Asadero cheeses.

Want to make this queso recipe without Velveeta? Swap it out for an additional cup of Mexican cheese and an 8-ounce block of cream cheese.

Crock Pot Queso Dip

Now, I am not a fan of canned chicken, which seems to be a common ingredient in hot dips. I prefer to either take the extra time (about 30 minutes) to bake and shred my own chicken. You can also purchase a rotisserie chicken and shred that.

This recipe requires about 2 cups of shredded chicken, 1 large breast or two smaller ones should cover it. Plus, it doesn’t need to be exact since the only thing it will really impact is the thickness and texture of the dip, not the flavors.

Easy and delicious chicken queso dip recipe made in a slow cooker!

Once you have your chicken ready, all you really have to do is throw everything into a slow cooker. Then let it cook on low for about 3 hours or until the cheese has fully melted. After that, you’ll just have to stir it up and you’re ready for a party!

Serve this queso dip straight out of the crockpot with tortilla chips! I promise you everyone will love this dip. They might even love it more than the one their favorite Mexican restaurant serves!

Cheesy and Easy Chicken Queso Dip that's perfect for Game Days!

    Been wanting to make this for some time, and finally did yesterday for a rather smallish outdoor football get together. When people started eating it, they literally could not stop. In about 20 minutes it was all over, and a few were scraping the bottom of the pot. For just a short time, no one was thinking about COVID, only that yummy dip and chips.
    Thanks for the recipe!

    Haha – my mind is busy trying to work out what canned chicken might taste and look like – it’s not something that is available in the UK. But we do have some tinned meats, all of which I’ve avoided since forever, so I’m thinking you decision to include freshly cooked shredded chicken is definitely a wise choice. Your dip sounds very tempting with all those flavours in there.
