Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure an oven-safe baking dish is ready for preparation.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Pour in the buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. Stir the ingredients until they are well blended and create a smooth, consistent mixture.
- Transfer the chicken mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the mixture, covering the entire surface completely.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges are bubbly and slightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the dip cool for 5 minutes to allow the temperature to stabilize and flavors to settle.
- Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers for dipping. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips
- • For the most tender and flavorful chicken, use rotisserie chicken or freshly grilled chicken breasts instead of canned. • Make sure cream cheese is softened at room temperature to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture. • For extra heat, choose a spicy buffalo sauce or add a dash of hot sauce to intensify the flavor. • To prevent burning, cover the dish with foil if the cheese starts browning too quickly. • Prep this dip ahead of time and refrigerate - the flavors will meld even more deliciously! • For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat shredded cheese. • Serve immediately after baking for the best texture and most gooey, melted cheese experience.
