Buffalo Chicken Dip is a spicy and creamy game-day favorite that’s easy to make and perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works best)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to your spice level)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped green onions
  • Crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the dip.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and spread the prepared mixture evenly inside to ensure even baking.
  4. Add Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the dip. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the cheese on top has melted beautifully.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions or crumbled blue cheese if desired to enhance flavor and presentation.
  6. Serve: Serve the warm dip with tortilla chips, crackers, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for dipping, making it a perfect snack for game days or casual get-togethers.

Notes

  • Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control spice level.
  • Rotisserie chicken saves time but cooked shredded chicken works well.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and cheeses for best creamy texture.
  • Dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; bake before serving.
  • Serve with fresh veggies for a lighter option.
