Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by shredding 2 cups of cooked chicken. You can use rotisserie chicken or cook and shred your own chicken breasts or thighs.
- Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing until smooth and well blended to create the creamy buffalo mixture.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, crumbled blue cheese, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the buffalo mixture. Stir everything together until evenly incorporated.
- Bake the Dip: Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with celery sticks, carrot sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers for dipping.
Notes
- For extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix.
- You can substitute blue cheese with more cheddar or mozzarella if preferred.
- If you want to prep ahead, assemble the dip in a baking dish, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake just before serving.
- Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
- To make this dish gluten-free, make sure your buffalo sauce and ranch dressing contain no gluten ingredients.
