Ingredients
Scale
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
1/2 cup Buffalo style hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Stir in the shredded chicken, Buffalo hot sauce, and ranch or blue cheese dressing until everything is combined.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Top the dip evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese and the blue cheese crumbles, if using.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers.
Notes
You can make this dip ahead of time. Cover the unbaked dip and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
For a slow cooker version, combine all ingredients except the topping cheese in a small slow cooker. Cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour. Stir, top with cheese, and cook until melted.
Use rotisserie chicken for quick shredded chicken.
