Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
  2. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, smoothing the top evenly.
  3. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dip for about 20-25 minutes, until it is hot and bubbly around the edges.
  4. Add Remaining Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers.

Notes

  • You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of ranch or blue cheese dressing to the mixture.
  • This dip can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or microwave before serving.
  • Use mild cheddar or a blend of cheeses if you prefer a less sharp taste.
