Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 1 pound chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s Red Hots recommended)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Topping

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing or ranch (for garnish)

For Serving

  • Fritos Scoops
  • Baguette slices
  • Carrot sticks
  • Celery sticks

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, buffalo sauce, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese using a large spatula until fully blended.
  2. Prepare for Baking: Spread the combined mixture evenly into the bottom of a 1.5-quart baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  3. Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dip is hot and bubbly.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and immediately drizzle with blue cheese or ranch dressing. Serve warm with Fritos Scoops, baguette slices, carrot sticks, and celery sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • For a spicier dip, you can increase the amount of buffalo sauce or add a dash of hot sauce.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, use a food processor to blend the mixture before baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated until warm.
  • Substitute blue cheese dressing with ranch if preferred, or omit for a lighter version.
  • Chicken can be shredded from rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.
