Buffalo Chicken Dip

Creamy, spicy, and dangerously addictive — this hot dip disappears fast at every gathering.

snack • prep: 10 min • cook: 20 min • serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup buffalo hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Tortilla chips, celery sticks, and crackers for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Mix it up: In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, hot sauce, and ranch dressing until smooth. Fold in shredded chicken and half the mozzarella.

  3. Bake: Spread mixture into an oven-safe dish. Top with remaining mozzarella and blue cheese if using.

  4. Cook: Bake for 18-20 minutes until bubbly around the edges and lightly golden on top.

  5. Serve: Top with sliced green onions. Serve hot with tortilla chips, celery, and crackers.

Notes

  • Storage: Keeps in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until bubbly.
  • Variations: Dial the heat up or down by adjusting the hot sauce. Add diced jalapeños for extra kick. Skip the blue cheese if it’s not your thing.
  • Tips: Use rotisserie chicken for the fastest prep. Softening the cream cheese first makes mixing so much easier — 30 seconds in the microwave does the trick.
