In your crock pot, add chicken stock. Next, add chicken and cook on high for 2-3 hours.
When chicken is tender, shred.
In a medium skillet, melt butter. Add flour and constantly whisk for 1 minute. Add heavy whipping cream and whisk constantly for 2 minutes. This is your cream base.
Add remaining ingredients, including the cream base, except the shredded cheese. Blend all the ingredients together well and cook for 2 hours on low (high for Instant Pot).
Stir in 1 ½ cups of cheese to crockpot mixture.Continue to cook on low for an additional 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Top with remaining cheese and green onions or avocado.
Serve with tortilla chips or crusty bread.
Notes
Use boneless chicken: Opt for boneless chicken breasts or chicken thighs to ensure easy shredding after cooking.Add hot sauce to taste: The intensity of the buffalo flavor can be adjusted with the amount of hot sauce you add, so tailor it to your preference.Cream last: Add cream or dairy-based ingredients towards the end of the cooking process to prevent them from curdling.
