- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing (depending on preference)
- 3/4 cup Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Sauce (or to taste)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of cheddar and mozzarella)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
- Tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). - Prepare the Dip:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing (or blue cheese), Frank’s Buffalo Sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and creamy. - Add the Chicken and Cheese:
Stir in the shredded chicken and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese (reserve the other 1/2 cup for topping). Mix until everything is well incorporated. - Bake the Dip:
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (such as an 8×8-inch dish or a similar size). Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. - Bake and Melt:
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown. - Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for dipping.
Notes
- For a spicier dip, add more Frank’s Buffalo Sauce to taste.
- You can make this dip in advance by preparing it and refrigerating it until you’re ready to bake. Just let it come to room temperature before baking.
- To make it more cheesy, mix in more shredded cheese before baking.
