Craving something creamy, tangy, and perfectly spicy? This Creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip is guaranteed to hit the spot. It brings together tender chicken, hot sauce, and plenty of cheesy goodness. It’s a star on game days, party buffets, or even just a cozy night in.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 cup Buffalo hot sauce
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing for extra tang)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Warm a medium skillet over low heat and melt the butter. Stir in the cream cheese, ranch dressing, and Buffalo hot sauce until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Next, fold in the shredded chicken and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until everything melds into a velvety mixture. Transfer the dip to a small ovenproof dish, then sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly. Serve warm with crisp celery sticks, crunchy tortilla chips, or slices of French bread. If desired, sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for a pop of color and freshness.
This Creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip is a must-have for spice lovers and cheese fanatics alike. It can easily be lightened by swapping out the cream cheese for a reduced-fat version or subbing Greek yogurt in place of some dressing. Feel free to mix up the flavor by using pepper jack cheese or adding crumbled blue cheese on top. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or fixing yourself a cozy snack, you’ll love how simple yet satisfying this dip can be.
