Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by warming a tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet or pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add your sliced onion. Stir gently and allow the onions to caramelise until they’re soft, golden, and sweet—about 15 minutes. Sprinkle on a little salt to help them along and then set them aside on a plate.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir together until everything is well blended and the chicken is nicely coated. Taste the mixture and adjust the buffalo sauce level to your preferred level of heat.
Spoon the mixture into the same skillet (carefully wiping out any excess oil first), and arrange the caramelised onions evenly over the top. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starts to turn golden brown at the edges.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes—just enough time to gather your favorite dippers. Serve this delicious dip hot and bubbly with crusty bread, tortilla chips, or crisp veggie sticks on the side.
This recipe is a total win for any game day, movie night, or cozy gathering. The tangy buffalo sauce balances beautifully with the sweetness of caramelised onions, and the creamy cheese layers tie every flavor together. It’s a hearty snack that can easily be adapted using low-fat dairy products or swapping the buffalo sauce for barbecue sauce if you prefer a milder taste. Whether you need something quick and easy or you’re simply hankering for a rich and satisfying dip, this one’s for you. Enjoy!
