Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • Extra cheddar and green onions for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.

2. Mix the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until smooth.

3. Add the Chicken and Cheese

Fold in the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, blue cheese (if using), and green onions until evenly coated.

4. Assemble

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese over the top.

5. Bake

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

6. Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and garnish with additional green onions. Serve hot with tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrots, crackers, toasted baguette slices, or pretzels.

Expert Tips

Rotisserie chicken saves time and adds excellent flavor. Allow the cream cheese to soften before mixing to ensure a smooth dip. For extra cheesy goodness, broil the dip for the last 2 minutes until the top becomes lightly browned.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. The dip can also be frozen for up to 2 months, although the texture may become slightly softer after thawing.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, crackers, toasted baguette slices, pretzels, potato chips, bell pepper strips, or warm naan bread. It also makes a delicious filling for baked potatoes, wraps, and sandwiches.

Recipe Variations

Use grilled chicken instead of rotisserie, substitute Greek yogurt for part of the ranch dressing for a lighter version, replace ranch with blue cheese dressing for extra tanginess, or add diced jalapeños for additional heat. Mix in cooked bacon for an even richer flavor.
