Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or cooked breasts)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by shredding cooked chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken using two forks or your fingers to create tender, bite-sized pieces that will soak up all the flavors.
  2. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy to ensure every bite is rich and flavorful.
  3. Combine Chicken and Seasonings: Add the shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese to the creamy base. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly incorporated.
  4. Transfer and Top: Spread the mixture evenly into a baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and blue cheese crumbles evenly on top to create a golden, bubbly crust once baked.
  5. Bake Until Bubbling: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the dip for 20-25 minutes, or until it is hot and the cheese on top is melted and slightly browned around the edges.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time and enhance flavor.
  • Warm cream cheese to room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Do not skip the ranch dressing; it balances heat and adds tangy creaminess.
  • Adjust the spice level gradually by adding buffalo sauce bit by bit.
  • Serve the dip warm to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
