Ingredients

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)

Serving

  • Tortilla chips
  • Celery sticks
  • Crackers

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo wing sauce, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly to ensure uniform heating.
  4. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled blue cheese (if using) evenly over the top of the dip mixture for a rich, cheesy crust.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and heated through.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from oven and serve immediately with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for quick preparation.
  • Blue cheese is optional but adds a tangy flavor that complements the buffalo sauce.
  • For extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the mixture.
  • Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
