A simple recipe for a hot, creamy, and spicy baked dip perfect for serving at gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie plate or small baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, Buffalo wing sauce, and ranch or blue cheese dressing. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Stir in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and the blue cheese crumbles, if using.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and lightly browned.
  7. Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • Serve this dip hot with tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or sturdy crackers for dipping.
  • For a spicier dip, increase the amount of Buffalo wing sauce or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • You can prepare the dip mixture up to 24 hours ahead of time, cover it, and refrigerate. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a slow cooker method, combine all ingredients (reserving the top layer of cheese), cook on low for 2 hours, stir, top with cheese, and cook for another 30 minutes until hot.
