Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds cooked chicken breast, shredded (approximately 3 large breasts)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ⅔ cup ranch dressing
- ⅔ cup Frank’s RedHot Buffalo sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) and let it fully preheat to ensure even baking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into a 1.5-quart baking dish, then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the top for a cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is lightly browned and the dip is bubbly around the edges.
- Serve: Serve the dip immediately while hot, paired with your favorite chips, carrot sticks, or celery for dipping.
Notes
- For spicier dip, add extra Buffalo sauce according to your taste.
- You can substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a different flavor profile.
- Use rotisserie chicken if short on time—just shred and use as directed.
- Best served warm for optimal creamy texture and flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave or oven.
