Description

Always a favorite, this cheesy, mouthwatering good Buffalo Chicken Dip is made super easy in either the stove or the crock pot. Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your liking. Serve with fresh veggies, tortilla chips, and pretzels.

Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic minced
2 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
3/4 cup hot sauce (like Franks)
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

Prepare: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8 x 8-inch baking dish (or somewhat equivalent-sized dish) with nonstick cooking spray.
Sauté: In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring several times. Add the chicken and hot sauce and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring several times. Add the cream cheese and stir to melt.
Combine: Remove from the heat and stir in the ranch dressing and sour cream. Season with black pepper to taste. Spoon half of the chicken mixture into the baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Spoon the rest of the chicken mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the dip is bubbly. If desired, sprinkle with green onions. Serve with carrot sticks, celery sticks, tortilla chips, and toasted baguette slices.

Notes

Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred heat level. You can use rotisserie, canned, or poached shredded chicken. To brown the top, use the broiler for the last couple of minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
