Ingredients:

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce (Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce)
  • 1 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (divided)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dry Ranch Seasoning Mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly beat the softened cream cheese until it is completely smooth and there are no lumps.
  3. Add the ranch/blue cheese dressing, 1/2 cup of the buffalo wing sauce, dry ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper to the cream cheese. Mix until the base is uniformly combined.
  4. Add the shredded chicken and 3/4 cup of the combined shredded cheeses to the bowl. Fold gently until all ingredients are evenly coated without overmixing.
  5. Transfer the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese topping is melted and slightly golden brown at the edges.
  7. Allow the Buffalo Chicken Dip to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or pretzel crisps.
