Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of cheddar and mozzarella)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the dip bakes evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, and shredded cheese. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the mixture into a medium-sized oven-safe dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform heating.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving with chips, celery sticks, or crackers.
Notes
- You can substitute ranch with blue cheese dressing for a more pungent flavor.
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and added flavor.
- If you prefer extra spice, add more buffalo sauce to taste.
- For a thicker dip, chill the mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
- This dip can also be cooked in a slow cooker on low for 1-2 hours.
