Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Buffalo style hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, hot sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, and sour cream if using. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Stir in half (1/2 cup) of the shredded cheese into the chicken mixture.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Top the dip with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and lightly bubbly.
- Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- For a slow cooker version, combine all ingredients except half the cheese, place in a small slow cooker, top with remaining cheese, and cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
- Serve with tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or sturdy crackers.
- For a spicier dip, increase the amount of hot sauce or add a dash of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
