Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie, canned, or cooked breast)
Creamy Base
- 8 oz full-fat block cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
Buffalo Flavor
- 0.5 cup buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Colby Jack cheese
- 0.25 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
Instructions
- Oven Method: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Mix chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and dressing in a bowl. Stir in half of the shredded cheese. Spread mixture in a baking dish, top with remaining cheese, and bake for 20–25 minutes. Broil for 2–3 minutes for golden top.
- Crock Pot Method: Add all ingredients to slow cooker. Stir well. Cover and cook on LOW for 1.5 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Switch to WARM to serve.
- Instant Pot Method: Add chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, dressing, and half the cheese. Cook on Manual High Pressure for 0 minutes. Quick release, stir until smooth, top with remaining cheese, and let sit with lid on to melt cheese.
- Microwave Method: Mix all ingredients in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes, stirring halfway. For smaller portions, use 30% power in 30-second bursts, stirring between.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese for a creamier texture.
- Adjust spice by varying the amount of buffalo sauce.
- Make ahead by assembling and refrigerating, then bake when ready.
