Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience, boiled and shredded chicken breast, or even leftover grilled chicken
8 ounces cream cheese, softened Full-fat cream cheese is highly recommended
½ cup buffalo wing sauce Frank's RedHot is a classic
½ cup ranch dressing can also use blue cheese dressing for a tangier flavor
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Medium or sharp cheddar works wonderfully
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese optional, for garnish/extra flavor
2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives or green onions optional, for garnish

Equipment

8x8 inch baking dish or 1.5 to 2-quart oven-safe dish
Large mixing bowl
Electric mixer (or sturdy spatula)

Method

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or a 1.5 to 2-quart oven-safe dish.
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Using an electric mixer on medium speed (or a sturdy spatula), beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps of cream cheese.

Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix everything gently until the chicken and cheeses are evenly distributed throughout the creamy sauce.

Pour the chicken dip mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top of the dip. This creates a beautiful, bubbly, golden crust.

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly around the edges, and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden brown. If you like a darker, crispier top, you can briefly place it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Carefully remove the Creamiest Buffalo Chicken Dip from the oven. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with crumbled blue cheese and freshly chopped chives or green onions, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dippers.
