Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip

Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded chicken (or cut up 2 chicken breasts into small pieces)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
  • 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (divided; 1 cup for the dip and 1 cup for sprinkling on top)
  • Bag of Tostitos or other chips (or any dip-able foods like celery sticks, crackers, or pita bread)

Directions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare Ingredients:
    • If using whole chicken breasts, cook them thoroughly (either by boiling, baking, or pan-frying) and then shred them with two forks.
    • Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwaving it for 15-20 seconds.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, softened cream cheese, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, until the dip is heated through and bubbly around the edges.
  6. Add Topping: Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese on top of the dip. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with chips or your preferred dip-able foods.

Note: For a spicier dip, increase the Frank’s Red Hot Sauce to 1 cup. Adjust to taste.

Enjoy your easy and delicious Buffalo Chicken Dip!
