Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and allow it to fully heat to ensure even cooking of the dip.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, Buffalo sauce, and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until the mixture is fully incorporated and creamy.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the blended chicken mixture evenly into a 1.5-quart baking dish, making sure it is well-distributed for even baking. Then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  4. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake until the cheese on top is lightly browned and the dip is bubbling around the edges, indicating it is heated through and ready to serve.
  5. Serve: Remove from oven and serve the Buffalo Chicken Dip immediately while hot. This dip pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked chicken breast or store-bought rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to make the dip milder or spicier to your taste.
  • For a thicker dip, use full-fat cream cheese and shred your own cheddar cheese for best melting texture.
  • Serve with celery sticks, carrots, or tortilla chips for variety in dipping options.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
