Main Ingredients

  • 2 cans (12.5 oz each) cooked chicken, drained
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For Serving

  • Chips, crackers, or toasted bread

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly blended into a creamy consistency.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the prepared mixture evenly into an 8×8-inch baking dish or a similar oven-safe dish, ensuring a smooth surface for even cooking.
  4. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the chicken mixture to create a delicious cheesy crust.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  6. Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted bread for dipping and enjoy this spicy, cheesy appetizer.

Notes

  • Use cooked rotisserie chicken as a convenient alternative to canned chicken.
  • Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to tame or intensify the heat based on preference.
  • For a thicker dip, chill the mixture before baking.
  • Blue cheese dressing can replace ranch for a stronger flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through before serving.
