Buffalo Chicken Dip is a creamy, cheesy, and spicy party favorite made with shredded chicken, tangy buffalo sauce, and melted cheese. Perfect for game days or gatherings, it pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggies.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Optional: Chopped green onions or crumbled blue cheese for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Dip:
- Spread the mixture evenly into a baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions or crumbled blue cheese if desired. Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers.
Tips:
- For extra creaminess, add 1/4 cup sour cream to the mixture.
- Use blue cheese dressing instead of ranch for a more traditional buffalo flavor.
- Make it in a slow cooker: Combine all ingredients and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
