Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup Bull’s-Eye buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, chopped for garnish
  • Optional: Cayenne or hot sauce for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Shred cooked chicken using two forks or your hands. Using rotisserie chicken is suggested to save time and add flavor.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch or blue cheese dressing, and buffalo sauce. Stir until smooth and evenly blended to create the flavorful base.
  3. Add Chicken and Cheese: Fold the shredded chicken and shredded cheddar cheese into the creamy mixture ensuring everything is well combined for consistent flavor.
  4. Bake Until Bubbly: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and slightly browned around the edges.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped green onions and optional extra cheese on top for freshness and color. Serve warm with your choice of chips, veggies, or bread.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save preparation time and boost flavor.
  • Keep cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dip.
  • Do not skip ranch or blue cheese dressing—it balances the heat and adds creaminess.
  • Serve the dip warm to maintain the best melty texture and flavor.
  • Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to customize the heat level to your preference.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days; flavors deepen overnight.
  • This dip freezes well for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
