Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter salted
- 1/2 large onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2-1 cup chicken broth
- 8 oz cream cheese cubed
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
- 1/4 cup hot sauce Frank's Red Hot brand
- 2 cups chicken cooked and shredded
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 4 oz blue cheese crumbled
- Chips for serving, etc
- crackers
- celery
- carrot
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Saute onion for 3-4 minutes or until they start to soften. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and cream cheese. As the cream cheese starts to melt, use a whisk to stir and create a thick melted sauce.
- Pour in mozzarella cheese, hot sauce, and shredded chicken. As you stir, you may notice the dip looking a little on the dry side as the chicken gets coated in the sauce. *Pour in extra chicken broth as needed to loosen the sauce. Add in salt and pepper as needed.
- Transfer to small baking dish or bowl, top with blue cheese and extra hot sauce if desired. Serve with chips, celery or carrot sticks as desired.
- An optional step would be to bake dip in the oven for 15 minutes at 325 degrees to keep warm and melt the blue cheese over top. Not required, but makes for a fancy presentation.
