minutesCheesy, creamy and spicy buffalo chicken dip, topped with fresh cut chives.
Ingredients
3 chicken breasts, large
1 package of cream cheese, room temp
1/4 cup buttermilk ranch
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 oz box of fresh chives, sliced
1/2 cup Franks Red Hot Sauce
1/2 tbsp salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Fill a large pot 1/2 way with water and bring to a boil. Add chicken and salt, and boil until the chicken has an internal temp of about 150 degrees F. You are going to bake it as well and don’t want to overcook the chicken.
- While the chicken cooks, combine cream cheese, sour cream, ranch, cheese, and Franks Red Hot.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the heat and shred.
- Combine chicken and sauce mixture. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. 5 minutes before the dip is done, sprinkle on more cheese and Franks Red Hot and place back in the oven.
- Garnish with fresh chives and sour cream, get your chips and enjoy!
Notes
- If you have a hand mixer, you can use it to shred the chicken very quickly, if not you can use two forks.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Buffalo chicken dip is a crowd-pleasing favorite that combines the flavors of spicy buffalo sauce and creamy, cheesy goodness. It’s perfect for game day gatherings, casual get-togethers, or any occasion where you want to serve a hearty and delicious snack. Here’s a straightforward recipe to make this beloved dip.
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. You will need about 2-3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken. This can be from a rotisserie chicken or freshly cooked breasts or thighs. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken with one package (8 ounces) of softened cream cheese, half a cup of buffalo wing sauce (adjust more or less depending on your spice preference), and half a cup of ranch or blue cheese dressing. Mix these together until well blended.
Next, stir in one cup of shredded cheddar cheese (you can also use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for a gooey texture). Transfer this mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle an additional half cup of cheese on top for a nice cheesy crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the cheese on top has melted and turned slightly golden.
Serve the buffalo chicken dip hot with a side of tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for dipping. The spicy, tangy flavor combined with the creamy, cheesy base makes this dip an irresistible addition to any snack table. Enjoy the game or your gathering with this easy and tasty dish!
