Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s Red Hots recommended)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

For Garnish and Serving

  • 2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing, for garnish
  • Fritos scoops, for dipping
  • Baguette slices, for dipping
  • Carrot sticks, for dipping
  • Celery sticks, for dipping

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 until fully combined using a large spatula.
  2. Prepare for Baking: Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of a 1.5-quart baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ 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). Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is bubbly.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and immediately drizzle the top with blue cheese or ranch dressing. Serve warm with Fritos scoops, baguette slices, carrot sticks, and celery sticks for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, use pre-cooked chicken breasts either baked, boiled, or rotisserie.
  • You can adjust the amount of buffalo sauce depending on your preferred spice level.
  • If you want a smoother dip, let the cream cheese soften fully before mixing.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the dip warm and melty.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
