Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 16 ounces cream cheese (room temperature, about 2 bricks)
  • 4 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 cup light ranch dressing
  • 12 ounces Franks RedHot Buffalo Sauce (or original, 1 bottle)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the cream cheese, shredded chicken, shredded Mexican blend cheese, light ranch dressing, and Franks RedHot Buffalo Sauce until well incorporated into a creamy mixture.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a nonstick or baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then pour the mixture evenly into the dish, spreading it out for even cooking.
  3. Bake the Dip: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dip in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes until the mixture is fully heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly around the edges.

Notes

  • For best results, use shredded rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken breasts for convenience.
  • You can adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to make the dip milder or spicier according to taste.
  • Serve warm with celery sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers for dipping.
  • Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
  • Using light ranch dressing reduces calories and fat but retains flavor.
