Ingredients of Buffalo Chicken Dip

• Chicken Breast cooked and shredded; if you have limited time,  you can substitute this pre-cooked chicken breast shredded with canned chicken or use a rotisserie chicken to significantly cut down on prep time
• Cream Cheese; This is the base of the dip. I recommend sticking to regular cream cheese because low-fat versions will make the texture runnier. Let it soften before using it. If you prefer to make this without cream cheese, you can substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt.
• Ranch Dressing; I think this is a key ingredient and you can’t skip this. Ranch dressing is the perfect complement to buffalo flavor! This is a substitute for blue cheese and you can absolutely use blue cheese dressing instead if you’d like.
• Hot Sauce; I add it for some spicy kicks, you can use Cheetos flamingo hot too. Use more or less than the recipe calls for to suit your flavor preferences
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese; – Cheddar cheese is melted into the dip, creating a satisfyingly gooey texture and cheesy flavor. but you can use any combination of your favorites – mozzarella cheese, blue cheese crumbles, Colby jack, pepper jack.
• Green Onion garnish; I add green onion after baking the buffalo chicken dip, this is optional feel free to omit or add it.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip

First, Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Second, In a large mixing bowl, Combine together chicken breast, cream cheese, hot sauce, ranch dressing, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Before that, Soften the cream cheese in a medium bowl with a rubber spatula until very creamy and smooth.

Next, transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Do not forget to sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.

Then, let’s bake! Bake it uncovered for about 30 minutes or until slightly browned and bubbly. Remove from oven then garnish it with green onion and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Remove the buffalo chicken dip from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. While the dip is cooling, chop the green onions for garnish.

How to Serve Buffalo Chicken Dip

Chips are always the perfect thing to serve with dips, and this baked buffalo chicken dip is no exception. I like serving this with plenty of tortilla chips, or ritz. Ideally, something that won’t break and crumble when you go in for a heavy dip. suggests serving this Buffalo chicken dip with celery sticks and chicken-flavored crackers. Corn or tortilla chips would also work well.  You can serve this with Potato chips, Fritos scoops, Crackers, some Veggies (celery sticks and carrot sticks are a favorite), Toasted baguette slices, or crispy air-fried white bread.

Make Buffalo Chicken Dip Ahead

To Reheat: you can make it in advance and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze. Since buffalo chicken reheats well, Transfer the cooled Buffalo chicken dip to a shallow airtight container. Reheat it slowly on the stove or in the microwave in short intervals. you can microwave until hot or reheat in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes.

To Freeze: Yes, you can freeze Buffalo chicken dip for up to three months.  Place in a freezer-safe container, remove any excess air, and freeze for up to three months. When ready to serve the frozen dip, simply remove it from the freezer, and let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Remember1 You should be aware that, since cream cheese and ranch dressing don’t freeze well, the texture might change a bit after freezing and thawing. Just slightly not as delicious as it was first baked but still tasty.
