Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded/chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) Block Cream Cheese (I used Philly)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (I used Hidden Valley)
  • 1/2 cup Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Blue cheese crumbles optional
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • Chopped scallions, for garnish optional, to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
  2. Add the cream cheese to a medium prep bowl and microwave for 20-30 seconds or until cream cheese is nicely softened (or take it out of the fridge and let it soften for an hour+ prior to starting the recipe).
  3. Add the chicken (make sure it's in smallish pieces), ranch dressing, hot sauce, and blue cheese to the bowl and stir until it's combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into a 1-quart baking dish or small oven-safe skillet (I use an 8" cast iron one). Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over top (and add more blue cheese crumbles on top if desired). Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until hot and bubbly (you can broil at the end if you wish to brown the cheese a bit more).
  5. Top with scallions if using. Serve the dip hot with baguette slices, celery/other veggies and/or crackers/chips.

Notes

  • I used rotisserie chicken for this recipe.
  • If you don't enjoy blue cheese, feel free to leave it out entirely. 
  • This dip is somewhat spicy (medium spice level)... if you're worried about the spice, halve the hot sauce. If you want it hotter, don't be shy about adding more.
  • Serves 4-6+ as an appetizer depending on how much people eat.
