How To Make Crock Pot Sweet Chicken Chili Dip
Prep the slow cooker

Add the chicken
Place the chicken breasts directly into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Layer the ingredients
Pour the sweet chili sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle in the ranch dressing mix, then add the shredded cheese and the block of cream cheese.
Tip: Shred the cheese yourself and it will melt so smooth
Cook
Cover and cook:
