Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cans (12.5 oz each) cooked chicken, drained
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the drained chicken, softened cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until well blended.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the combined mixture evenly into an 8×8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish to ensure even cooking.
  4. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and all of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top for a rich, cheesy crust.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  6. Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted bread for dipping and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute blue cheese dressing for ranch if you prefer a stronger, tangier flavor.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-shredded for better melting and flavor.
  • For a spicier kick, add additional Buffalo sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix.
  • The dip can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
  • Serve immediately after baking for the best texture and flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
