Ingredients

Scale

Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds cooked chicken breasts (shredded; about 3 large breasts)
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
  • ⅔ cup ranch dressing
  • ⅔ cup Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Sauce
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the dip.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, Buffalo sauce, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until the mixture is well combined and evenly moist.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Spread the combined mixture evenly into a 1.5-quart baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top to create a cheesy crust.
  4. Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is lightly browned and the dip is bubbling around the edges, indicating it is heated through.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the dip immediately with your choice of chips, carrot sticks, and celery for dipping. Enjoy this creamy, spicy appetizer fresh from the oven.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken or cook chicken breasts in advance to save time.
  • Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to make the dip as mild or spicy as you prefer.
  • Substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a different flavor profile.
  • For a low-fat option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and cheese.
  • This dip can be made a day ahead; just bake before serving.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
