Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo style hot sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven broiler or set an oven to 375°F if you prefer baking rather than broiling.
- Soften the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 to 30 seconds.
- Stir the softened cream cheese with the buffalo hot sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing until completely combined and creamy.
- Fold in the shredded chicken and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack and mix until even.
- Spoon the mixture into an oven-safe 8-inch baking dish and smooth the top. Scatter the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese and the blue cheese crumbles over the surface.
- Bake at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes until bubbly, or broil for 1 to 2 minutes to brown the top—watch closely to prevent burning.
- Let the dip rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese. Add a splash of milk when reheating if the texture seems grainy.
