Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 3/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese for topping
  • Tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for serving

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you're using a slow cooker instead, set it to low heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Stir in the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and blue cheese (if using). Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish or your slow cooker.
  5. Sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese for that golden-brown finish.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden, or cook in the slow cooker for 2-3 hours on low.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite dippers like tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor and convenience. Adjust buffalo sauce amount based on spice preference. Make ahead by preparing dip mixture up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate. Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.
