Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works best)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to your spice level)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped green onions
  • Crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the dip evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish lightly and spread the chicken cheese mixture evenly inside the dish to prepare it for baking.
  4. Add Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dip. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is heated through, bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions or crumbled blue cheese if desired to add extra flavor and presentation appeal.
  6. Serve Warm: Serve the buffalo chicken dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to control the spice level.
  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor.
  • Keep dip warm by covering with foil if not serving immediately.
  • Dip can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
  • For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and cheeses.
