Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: sliced green onions or chopped celery for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
  2. Shred about 2 cups of cooked chicken finely.
  3. Soften 8 ounces of cream cheese in a mixing bowl using a hand mixer or spoon until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce and 1/2 cup ranch dressing to the cream cheese and mix well until fully incorporated.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning if desired.
  6. Fold in shredded chicken, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix gently until evenly combined.
  7. Transfer the mixture to an 8×8-inch baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is golden on top.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions or chopped celery if desired and serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers.

Notes

Soften cream cheese completely before mixing to avoid lumps. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Cover with foil if edges brown too quickly. Can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and ranch with dairy-free versions. Slow cooker method available.
