Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure cream cheese is truly softened.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing, and ranch dressing mix. Blend with a hand mixer or sturdy spoon until completely smooth.
  3. Add buffalo wing sauce and mix until fully combined. Taste and adjust spiciness if desired.
  4. Fold in shredded chicken and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  5. Transfer mixture to an 8×8-inch baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  6. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. For extra browning, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and crumbled blue cheese if using.
  9. Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or crackers.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and let it come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Rotisserie chicken adds the most flavor. The dip can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance (minus top cheese) and refrigerated. Leftovers keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
