Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe
This creamy, cheesy Buffalo Chicken Dip is a crowd-pleasing appetizer packed with bold flavor and just the right kick—perfect for game day, parties, or anytime snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup buffalo sauce Frank’s Red Hot recommended
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing or Ranch for garnish
- Fritos scoops, baguette slices, carrot/celery for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, buffalo sauce, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
- Transfer the mixture to a 1.5-quart oven-safe baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly around the edges and the cheese on top is melted and golden.
- Remove from oven and drizzle with blue cheese or ranch dressing. Serve warm with your favorite dippers.
- Optional: Microwave on high for 5–6 minutes or cook in a slow cooker on low for 2–3 hours until hot and melty.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the smoothest melt.
- Let cream cheese soften fully before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Double the batch for parties—it disappears fast! To keep warm during serving, use a slow cooker on the warm setting.
- Add green onions, crumbled bacon, or blue cheese for extra flavor.
