Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
Cheese Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the dip evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, Frank’s RedHot sauce, and ranch or blue cheese dressing. Stir thoroughly until all components are evenly blended into a creamy mixture.
- Add Cheese: Fold in half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses into the chicken mixture to infuse cheesy flavor throughout the dip.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Transfer the combined mixture into a suitable baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure consistent baking.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top of the layered mixture for a golden, bubbly crust.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and heated through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Pair with tortilla chips, crackers, or celery sticks for dipping.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
- For extra heat, add more Frank’s RedHot sauce.
- Blue cheese dressing gives a tangier flavor compared to ranch.
- Serve immediately for best texture, but leftovers can be reheated.
- Can be made ahead and baked just before serving.
