Description

This Buffalo Chicken Dip with Canned Chicken is a creamy, spicy appetizer that’s perfect for game days or casual gatherings. Combining shredded canned chicken with cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and cheddar cheese, this dip bakes until bubbly and golden, then is topped with fresh green onions for a flavorful finish. Serve it hot with tortilla chips or veggie sticks for an irresistible snack.

Ingredients

Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients

  • 2 cups canned chicken, drained and shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray an oven-safe baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained and shredded canned chicken with softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and evenly incorporated.
  3. Assemble Dip: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface for even cooking.
  4. Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the spread mixture to create a cheesy golden crust during baking.
  5. Bake Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top turns a golden brown.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for a fresh, vibrant garnish. Serve the dip hot alongside tortilla chips or veggie sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • Use canned chicken for convenience and a quick prep time, but rotisserie chicken can be substituted for extra flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the spiciness to your preference.
  • This dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; just bake before serving to warm it through.
  • For a thicker dip, drain any excess liquid from canned chicken thoroughly.
  • Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or pita chips as alternative dippers.
