Make this easy, cheesy Buffalo Chicken Dip for your next gathering or as a satisfying snack. It uses simple ingredients and bakes up hot and bubbly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce (or similar hot sauce)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded chicken. Mix until mostly combined.
  3. Stir in the hot sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing until the mixture is uniform.
  4. Fold in half of the shredded cheese and all of the blue cheese crumbles, if using.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers.

Notes

  • For a thicker dip, use less hot sauce or add 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt.
  • If you prefer a slow cooker method, combine all ingredients (reserving half the top cheese), place in a small slow cooker, and cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour, stirring halfway through. Top with remaining cheese and cook until melted.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for quick preparation.
