Ingredients

  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup Ranch dressing
  • 1 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, monterey jack, or colby jack)
  • 3 cups chicken (chopped, I used rotisserie)
  • 2 green onions sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder and onion powder. Use a hand mixer to mix well.
  • Stir in chicken and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese.
  • Transfer to a 2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
  • Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly around the edges.
  • Remove from oven; garnish with sliced green onions.
  • Serve with veggies, tortilla chips, crackers, or any of your favorite dippers.

Notes

Recipe Variations

  • Substitute sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for half of the cream cheese (8 ounces)
  • Use any variety of shredded cheese, including cheddar, white cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella
  • Add diced jalapeños for an extra spicy kick
  • Use any brand of hot sauce OR make your own homemade
  • Add crumbled blue cheese for a classic buffalo chicken flavor combination
  • Use canned chicken or cooked, shredded chicken breasts in place of rotisserie
  • Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking for a bubbly, golden brown top

Storing & Reheating

Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, transfer desired amount to a small oven-safe container. Bake, covered, at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
