Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works best)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to your spice level)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped green onions
  • Crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and spread the combined mixture evenly inside it to ensure even cooking.
  4. Add Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the mixture, then bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions or crumbled blue cheese to enhance flavor and presentation.
  6. Serve: Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of buffalo sauce added.
  • Rotisserie chicken is recommended for convenience and flavor, but any cooked shredded chicken works.
  • For a thicker dip, reduce the amount of ranch dressing slightly.
  • This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to test if the dip is hot and bubbly in the center before removing from the oven.
