Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup hot buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers for serving

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats up, shred your cooked chicken using two forks or your hands.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Fold in the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, and optional blue cheese if using. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer the dip mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden around the edges.
  5. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Top with sliced green onions and optional chopped celery. Serve warm with your favorite dippers.

Notes

For parties, use the slow cooker method: combine all ingredients (except garnish) and cook on low for 2-3 hours. Adjust spice level by using mild, medium, or hot buffalo sauce. Can be made 24 hours in advance and refrigerated before baking.
