Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Cheeses

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Prepare your chicken: Start with cooked, shredded chicken. You can poach, bake, or use a store-bought rotisserie chicken for ease. Make sure it’s shredded finely to blend well into the dip.
  2. Mix the base ingredients: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add chicken and cheese: Fold in the shredded chicken along with half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. This lets the flavors meld together perfectly before baking.
  4. Bake the dip: Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and golden on the edges.
  5. Serve warm and enjoy: Once baked, serve your Buffalo Chicken Dip hot with your choice of dippers. It’s best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated if needed.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, even mix.
  • If the buffalo sauce is very watery, lightly drain it to avoid a runny dip.
  • Mix cheeses well by combining mozzarella and cheddar for gooey texture and bold flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to customize the spice level to your preference.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking dish; spread the dip evenly for consistent cooking and melting.
