Ingredients

Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • Tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo wing sauce, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and creamy.
  3. Transfer to baking dish: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into a baking dish, creating a flat surface for even cooking and topping.
  4. Add cheese toppings: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture, followed by the optional crumbled blue cheese if using, to add extra flavor and creaminess.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and thoroughly heated through.
  6. Serve warm: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve it warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • For a spicier dip, increase the amount of buffalo wing sauce to 3/4 cup.
  • Using cooked rotisserie chicken can save prep time and add extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, finely chop the chicken or pulse it briefly in a food processor before mixing.
  • Blue cheese is optional but adds a classic tangy flavor; omit if blue cheese flavor is not preferred.
  • Keep the dip covered and refrigerated if preparing ahead, then reheat before serving.
