A rich, creamy, and spicy baked dip made with cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded chicken. It features a gooey cheese topping and is perfect for game day or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup creamy ranch dressing
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for greasing dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Ensure chicken is cooked and shredded (approx. 2 cups). If using fresh breasts, boil until 165°F internal temp, then shred.
  3. Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to soften.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, hot sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix vigorously with a wooden spoon until smooth and lump-free.
  5. Stir in shredded chicken, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.
  6. Fold in 2 cups mozzarella and 1 cup cheddar cheese, reserving about 1/4 cup cheddar for the topping.
  7. Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with melted butter. Pour mixture into dish and spread evenly.
  8. Sprinkle reserved cheddar cheese on top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until hot, bubbly, and cheese is melted and slightly browned.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving with chips or vegetables.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Do not overbake or the cheese may become greasy. Can be served with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or tortilla chips. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
