Buffalo Chicken Dip
Description
This dip combines cooked shredded chicken with softened cream cheese, hot buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing into a smooth mixture. Cheddar cheese is stirred in for richness and sprinkled on top with blue cheese for a contrasting sharp taste. Baking in a 9x9 dish at 350°F melts the cheeses and melds flavors while creating a bubbling, creamy texture.
The dip is hearty and spicy, balanced by ranch and blue cheese notes. It's commonly served as a party snack or appetizer alongside bread or chips. The texture is thick enough to stay on dippers but creamy and smooth when scooped.
This recipe can be prepped ahead by assembling the dip and refrigerating before baking, allowing flavor development. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for a few days or can be frozen. Excess oil sometimes rises during baking but can be blotted and stirred back in to maintain consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken shredded, cooked
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese softened
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1½ cups cheddar cheese divided, shredded
- 2-3 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese until well combined.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheddar and the blue cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Serve immediately with bread or tortilla chips.
Notes
- Assemble the dip up to before baking and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to prep ahead.
- Excess oil after baking can be blotted and stirred back in to reduce greasiness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
- Reheat gently in microwave or oven covered to preserve creaminess.
- Alternatively, see slow cooker versions for crockpot preparation.
