Ingredients:

• Cooked and shredded chicken (store-bought rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut!)
• Cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
• Buffalo sauce (choose your favorite brand!)
• Ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing for a tangy twist)
• Garlic powder (for extra depth of flavor)
• Colby-Jack cheese (shredded, divided)
• Blue cheese crumbles and green onions (optional garnish)

Let’s Get Dipping!

1. Cook the Chicken: Shred your chicken breasts beforehand. Rotisserie chicken is a lifesaver if you’re short on time. Want to get fancy? Use your Instant Pot for perfectly cooked chicken in minutes!
2. Preheat and Prep: Heat your oven to 375°F and spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Make the Creamy Base: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and garlic powder. Whisk it all together until the cream cheese is melted and smooth.
4. Combine and Bake: Take the pan off the heat and stir in the shredded chicken and half of the Colby-Jack cheese. Pour the mixture into your baking dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
5. Garnish and Serve: If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and chopped green onions. Serve hot with your favorite dippers like carrot sticks, celery sticks, tortilla chips, crackers, or even a sliced baguette!

Tips:

• Don’t be afraid to adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
• Leftovers? Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
• Feeling adventurous? Try adding chopped cooked broccoli or cauliflower for a veggie boost.

This buffalo chicken dip is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So ditch the boring chips and salsa and give this recipe a try! You won’t regret it.
