Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

2 (10 ounce) cans cooked chicken breast drained and shredded
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese softened
½ cup buffalo wing sauce classic Franks RedHot is a popular choice
½ cup ranch dressing Or blue cheese dressing, depending on your preference.
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese Divided, with some reserved for topping.
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup chopped green onions For garnish and a hint of fresh flavor (optional but recommended).

Equipment

8x8-inch baking dish
9-inch pie plate
Large mixing bowl
Rubber spatula
Hand mixer (optional)

Method

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or a 9-inch pie plate. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Use a rubber spatula or a hand mixer to blend these ingredients until smooth and well incorporated. Ensure there are no lumps of cream cheese for a consistently creamy dip.

Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and all of the mozzarella cheese into the creamy mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the chicken is thoroughly coated.

Spoon the buffalo chicken dip mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dip. This will create a beautiful golden-brown crust when baked.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly around the edges and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden. For an extra browned and bubbly top, you can broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
Once out of the oven, let the dip rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dippers!

Notes

This dip can be assembled a day in advance (without baking) and stored in the refrigerator. Just add the final layer of cheese before baking. Serve hot with your favorite dippers!
