  • 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions or parsley, for garnish
  • Toasted baguette slices (crostini) for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch or blue cheese dressing. Stir until well combined and the mixture is creamy.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly into a baking dish or oven-friendly skillet and top with shredded cheddar cheese. If desired, sprinkle crumbled blue cheese on top for an extra kick of flavor.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

Serve the homemade buffalo chicken dip warm alongside crostini or tortilla chips for dipping. The crispy crostini provides a delicious contrast to the creamy and cheesy dip, creating a delightful texture and flavor combination. You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience or cook and shred the chicken yourself if time permits. Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less buffalo sauce, according to your preference. Enjoy!

Chef’s tip: Feel free to customize the dip by adding additional toppings such as diced celery, sliced jalapeños, or crispy bacon bits.
