Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles (optional)
- Green onions, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded chicken. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in the buffalo wing sauce and the ranch or blue cheese dressing until everything is evenly mixed.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Top evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese and blue cheese crumbles, if using.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped green onions.
- Serve hot with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers.
Notes
- You can assemble this dip ahead of time and keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add about 5 extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
- For a slow cooker version, combine all ingredients except the top cheese layer, cook on low for 2 hours, then top with cheese and cook until melted.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, use blue cheese dressing instead of ranch.
