Ingredients

Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for even cooking.
  2. Mix Chicken and Buffalo Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the Buffalo sauce. Stir well until the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Add Cream Cheese, Ranch, and Cheddar: Add the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Transfer the chicken mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform layer.
  5. Add Cheese Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture, then add the blue cheese crumbles evenly across the surface.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or your preferred dippers.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken leftover from a roast or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Adjust Buffalo sauce quantity to taste for more or less spiciness.
  • For a smoother dip, soften cream cheese fully before mixing.
  • If you prefer a milder dip, omit the blue cheese or substitute with extra cheddar.
  • This dip can be made a day ahead and refrigerated; warm before serving.
  • Serve immediately after baking for best texture and flavor.
