Main Components
- 1 ½ pounds cooked chicken breast, shredded (approximately 3 large breasts)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ⅔ cup ranch dressing
- ⅔ cup Frank’s RedHot Buffalo sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Shred the cooked chicken breasts finely using two forks or your hands, ensuring there are no large chunks for even mixing and texture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and Frank’s RedHot Buffalo sauce until smooth and well incorporated. Add the shredded chicken and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, folding gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Assemble Dip: Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, smoothing the top evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese on top to create a cheese crust when baked.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top has melted and started to brown slightly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a different flavor profile.
- If you want it spicier, add extra Frank’s RedHot Buffalo sauce.
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
- For a smoother dip, pulse the mixture in a food processor before baking.
- Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
