Description

This flavorful Buffalo Chicken Dip is a creamy and spicy appetizer perfect for game days, parties, or casual gatherings. Made with shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, and tangy buffalo sauce, it’s baked until hot and bubbly and topped with cheddar cheese and a drizzle of blue cheese or ranch dressing. Serve it with chips, baguette slices, and fresh veggies for a crowd-pleasing snack everyone will love.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s Red Hot recommended)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

For Serving

  • 2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing or ranch, for garnish
  • Fritos Scoops
  • Baguette slices
  • Carrot sticks
  • Celery sticks

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, buffalo sauce, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly using a large spatula until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
  2. Prepare for Baking: Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of a 1.5-quart baking dish. Then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top to ensure a cheesy crust.
  3. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and starting to lightly brown on top.
  4. Add Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and immediately drizzle with blue cheese dressing or ranch as desired. Serve the warm dip with Fritos Scoops, baguette slices, carrot sticks, and celery sticks for dipping. Enjoy the creamy, spicy goodness!

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked chicken breasts for best flavor and texture; rotisserie chicken works well too.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the heat level.
  • The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat before serving.
  • For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the mixture.
  • Substitute blue cheese dressing with ranch if preferred or for a milder taste.
