Creamy, cheesy, and packing a tangy buffalo kick—this dip is a game-day favorite that’s addictively scoopable. Whether baked bubbly in the oven or tossed in the slow cooker, it’s always the first thing to disappear at a party.
🍴 Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup buffalo hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- ½ cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- Optional: ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese for extra tang
- Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
🔥 Instructions
Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
Mix It Up:
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, hot sauce, and ranch dressing. Stir until smooth and creamy. Fold in the shredded chicken, cheddar, and mozzarella (plus blue cheese if using).
Bake to Bubbling:
Transfer the mixture to your prepared dish and bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. If you like, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a golden cheesy top.
Serve and Scoop:
Garnish with green onions or parsley. Serve hot with tortilla chips, celery sticks, crackers, or baguette slices.
