I’m SO DANG EXCITED about these SLOW COOKER ROTEL DIP CHICKEN SANDWICHES! It’s an idea that popped into my head one day when I was dreaming about cheese (that’s very typical for me), which led me to think about how much I love Rotel Dip (Rotel melted together with Velveeta).
And that led me to think about HOW CAN I EAT THIS AS AN ENTIRE MEAL, which led me to this recipe.
These Chicken Rotel Sandwiches are sure to be a family favorite. They are made in a crock pot, which means they are incredibly easy.

Serve these Chicken Rotel Sandwiches any time, and eat all the leftover dip with chips…because you can’t waste any of that delicious dip! That would be a crime…

Crock Pot Rotel Dip with Chicken
These sandwiches are everything that you already love about classic rotel dip. Super cheesy, creamy, and just the right amount of spice.
Those flavors lend themselves so perfectly to chicken. To say these sandwiches are crave-worthy are an understatement. And anything made in a slow cooker is an automatic step up in my opinion. I mean just look at all that cheese!

How to Make Chicken Rotel Sandwiches
Obviously this recipe takes quite a bit of time in the slow cooker, but prep is short and the recipe overall is super simple. Make the chicken rotel dip, put it on a bun, top with cheese and condiments, and done!
The extra cheese on the top is an add-on and totally optional…but you guys know how I feel about cheese. The more the better! I just can’t say no.
How to Make Rotel Dip Chicken Sandwiches:
- Place cream cheese, chicken, Rotel, and Velveeta in slow cooker.
- Cook on high 3-4 hours OR on low 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
- When chicken is done cooking, remove the chicken, shred it, then place it back in the slow cooker and stir.
- Keep slow cooker on Warm until ready to serve.
- To make the sandwiches: Use a slotted spoon to remove shredded chicken from dip & place on bun. Add your preferred condiments, and more Velveeta if desired.
Don’t forget to eat any leftover Rotel dip with chips! No need to waste it once the chicken is gone. :)
I hope these Slow Cooker Rotel Dip Chicken Sandwiches grace your table for the Super Bowl, but also any other occasion, or for an easy meal around your home. For us that is ALL THE TIME. Chicken Rotel Sandwiches for the win!

Ingredients
- 2 lbs 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 8 ounce blocks (16 ounces total) low fat cream cheese
- 2 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 1 can Rotel tomatoes
- Hamburger buns
- lettuce onion, and more velveeta for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Spray a slow cooker with nonstick spray.
- Add in the chicken, cream cheese, velveeta, and Rotel tomatoes into the slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Stir ingredients occasionally while cooking.
- Once chicken is cooked through, remove just the chicken from slow cooker and shred using two forks. Place the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker with the sauce and stir to fully coat/combine.
- Place the slow cooker on warm until ready to assemble your sandwiches.
- NOTE: If using more velveeta as garnish, I’ve found the best way to heat it up is 2 ounces at a time with 2 tablespoons milk, heated in the microwave one minute at a time until fully melted and creamy.
- Assemble your sandwiches by using a slotted spoon to remove chicken from slow cooker, placing on a bottom bun. Top with lettuce and red onion and more velveeta if desired (see note above)
- Enjoy!

Nutrition Information
This is simply a stunning recipe. I love this. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Becky,
Making this tomorrow, but I had a question: What size can of Rotel do you use? I picked up a 10oz can and just realized that might not be enough?
Thanks,
-Adam
Can I use bone in chicken breasts?
Use only 2 ounces of velveeta cheese for the whole recipe?
Sounds fabulous!!

What is the nutritional value of this recipe
Any ideas on other ways to serve this besides on hamburger buns, this sounds amazing.
Is there anything you could substitute for Velveeta? We’re not big fans of it, but these look delicious.
Recipe looks yummy! Is that 16 oz TOTAL cream cheese or 2 blocks of 16 oz each? And only 2 oz Total Velveeta per 1 can Rotel? That just doesn’t seem like much Velveeta in comparison to how much is used when making only the Rotel dip recipe. I really want to try this soon. Thanks for your awesome recipes.????
