A quick and easy creamy buffalo chicken dip perfect for game day or casual get-togethers, served with crispy tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 300g) – rotisserie chicken works great
  • 8 oz cream cheese (225g), softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce (120ml) – Frank’s RedHot recommended
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (120ml) – can substitute blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (110g)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (55g)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix in the buffalo hot sauce and ranch dressing until evenly blended.
  4. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; stir to distribute seasoning evenly.
  5. Fold in the shredded cooked chicken gently to coat without breaking it up too much.
  6. Stir in shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top.
  7. Spread the mixture evenly in an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking dish and sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until hot and cheese is melted and slightly browned.
  9. Let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving to thicken slightly.
  10. Serve warm with crispy tortilla chips and optional celery sticks.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to avoid lumps. Use rotisserie chicken for juiciness. Adjust heat by adding more hot sauce or red pepper flakes. If dip is too thick before baking, add a splash of milk or extra ranch dressing. Can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight; add extra baking time if baking cold. Leftovers keep well for 3 days refrigerated and can be reheated in microwave or oven.
