  5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred using two forks.
  6. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  7. Add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
  8. Stir well until everything is fully combined.
  9. Cover and cook on low for another 20 to 30 minutes until hot and creamy.

Notes

For the smoothest texture, allow the cream cheese to soften fully before adding it to the slow cooker. This dip also reheats beautifully for leftovers the next day.
