Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 10 oz or 300g) cooked, shredded chicken breast or rotisserie chicken
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (4 fl oz or 120ml) buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup (4 fl oz or 120ml) ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup (3 oz or 75g) blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 cup (4 oz or 100g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add garlic powder and onion powder to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
  4. Fold in shredded cooked chicken until every piece is coated with the buffalo cream cheese mixture.
  5. Gently fold in shredded cheddar cheese and blue cheese crumbles, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly in an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are bubbly and the top starts to turn golden.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley and serve hot with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crusty bread.

Notes

If the dip is too thick before baking, add a splash of milk or extra ranch dressing to loosen it. Watch the bake time carefully to avoid drying out. For extra melty top, broil for 1 minute but watch closely. Can prepare mixture a day ahead and bake fresh before serving. Freeze unbaked dip in airtight container; thaw overnight and bake with a few extra minutes.
