Ingredients

Qty Item
8 oz Cream cheese, softened
0.5 cup Buffalo wing sauce
0.5 cup Ranch dressing
2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded
1.5 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
0.25 cup Blue cheese crumbles
2 stalks Green onions, sliced

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip

1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

3

Fold in the shredded cooked chicken and 1 cup of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese until evenly distributed.

4

Spoon the mixture into a 1-quart baking dish or a 9x9 inch oven-safe pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

5

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the top.

6

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and bubbling.

7

Remove from the oven and garnish with blue cheese crumbles and sliced green onions. Serve warm with celery sticks, crackers, or tortilla chips.


Tips for Best Results

  • ·

    Use a rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful shortcut.

  • ·

    To keep the dip warm during a long party, transfer it to a small slow cooker on the 'warm' setting after baking.

  • ·

    If you prefer a tangier flavor, swap the ranch dressing for blue cheese dressing.

  • ·

    Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the base.
