buffalo chicken dip.
Creamy, gooey buffalo chicken dip is the perfect crowd-pleasing appetizer. Try this original version, but feel free to add bacon, blue cheese, or green onion as toppings!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shredded traditional rotisserie chicken
- pinch of pepper
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 cup buffalo / hot sauce [I love Frank's or Crystal]
- 1/2 block 4 oz. cream cheese [room temperature]
- 1/4 cup creamy ranch dressing
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 oz. freshly grated sharp cheddar divided
- bacon crumbles optional
- blue cheese crumbles optional
- chopped green onion optional
Instructions
- Place a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add shredded rotisserie chicken, pinch of pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through.
- Pour hot sauce over all shredded chicken, and stir to coat chicken in hot sauce.
- Add cream cheese, and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until cream cheese is completely melted and creamy. The chicken should be coated in cream cheese and sauce at this point.
- Add creamy ranch dressing, and stir until fully incorporated.
- Add 1 oz. freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese and sour cream. Stir to combine.
- Add final ounce of freshly grated sharp cheese, stir a final time.
- Serve hot!
Notes
Serving the crumbled bacon, crumbled blue cheese and chopped green onion each in a separate dish alongside the buffalo chicken dip is a great way to serve this at a party. It gives people the option to add their own toppings!
