Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe: Ingredients, Time & Tips
A creamy, spicy buffalo chicken dip made with shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and melty cheese that works well for game day, parties, and make-ahead prep
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 2 tbsp green onions sliced, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, dressing, and half of the cheddar until evenly combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over the top.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until hot and bubbly around the edges.
- Top with sliced green onions if using, and serve warm with chips, celery, carrots, or crackers.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works well and saves time.
- Let the cream cheese soften first so the mixture combines smoothly.
- Start with less buffalo sauce if you want a milder dip, then adjust next time.
- Bake until the edges bubble, not just until the cheese melts on top.
- For make-ahead prep, assemble the dip in advance and bake just before serving.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days and can be reheated gently.
