- Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or 6-7 hours on low.
- 30 minutes before serving, remove lid and shred chicken using two forks.
- Add shredded Mozzarella cheese and stir to combine. Add cover and continue cooking until cheese is completely melted.

This slowcooker buffalo chicken dip pairs beautifully with a good beer. An American pale ale or IPA is the perfect counterpart to the spicy buffalo chicken flavors. And if you really want to get fancy, try it with a Michelada.
