Ingredients

Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Combine Chicken and Buffalo Sauce: In a mixing bowl, mix the shredded cooked chicken with the Buffalo sauce until the chicken is evenly coated with the spicy sauce.
  3. Add Cream Cheese, Ranch, and Cheddar: Stir in the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until the dip is creamy and well combined.
  4. Assemble the Dip: Transfer the mixture into a baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and the blue cheese crumbles over the top.
  5. Bake the Dip: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the dip is bubbling and the cheese on top is golden brown.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the dip warm with tortilla chips or celery sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • Shredded cooked chicken can be from rotisserie, leftover roast chicken, or poached chicken breasts.
  • For a milder dip, reduce the amount of Buffalo sauce or use a milder wing sauce.
  • Blue cheese crumbles can be substituted with extra cheddar if preferred.
  • This dip can be prepared a day ahead; just assemble and refrigerate before baking.
  • Use low-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat cheddar cheese to make a lighter version.
  • Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or tortilla chips for variety.
