Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Chicken and Cheese: Fold in the shredded chicken and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well to ensure all components are evenly incorporated.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the mixed dip into a baking dish and spread it out evenly to create a uniform layer.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top along with blue cheese crumbles if you choose to use them. This adds flavor and a beautiful melted cheese topping.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden around the edges.
  7. Cool Slightly: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to set for easier serving and better texture.
  8. Add Garnishes: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the dip for a fresh, bright flavor and appealing color contrast.
  9. Serve: Serve the creamy buffalo chicken dip warm, accompanied by tortilla chips, crackers, or celery sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute blue cheese with extra cheddar cheese or omit it if preferred.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for quick preparation.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the heat level.
  • Keep the dip warm by placing it on a warming tray or serving immediately after baking.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
