Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, Buffalo wing sauce, and blue cheese or ranch dressing. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
- Stir in half (1/2 cup) of the shredded cheese into the chicken mixture.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining half (1/2 cup) of the shredded cheese over the top of the dip.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions if desired.
Notes
- For a tangier flavor, use blue cheese dressing instead of ranch.
- You can use rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking and shredding.
- If you prefer a slow cooker method, combine all ingredients except the top layer of cheese. Cook on low for 2 hours, then top with cheese and cook on high for 15 minutes until melted.
