Main Ingredients

  • shredded cooked chicken breast
  • cream cheese softened
  • buffalo wing sauce
  • ranch dressing
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • chopped green onions
  • Optional: celery sticks and tortilla chips

Instructions
 

Steps

  • First, gather all the ingredients on your kitchen counter. Shred or cut the pre-cooked chicken breast into small pieces ensuring they are ready to be mixed. If you’re shredding your own cheese, make sure to do that now for a fresh, creamy melt in the dip.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Stir until you achieve a smooth, even consistency. This mixture forms the creamy, tangy base of your dip. The cream cheese complements the spicy buffalo flavor, while the ranch dressing adds a cooling effect.
  • Add the shredded chicken to the creamy base you've created and stir thoroughly to ensure that each bite will be perfectly seasoned. Each piece of chicken should be well-coated with the creamy sauce, integrating all the flavors together.
  • Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. This adds a rich, gooey texture to the dip. The remaining cheese will be used as a topping before baking, ensuring a golden, bubbly finish.
  • Now, transfer the mixture into your baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top. This will create a beautifully gooey top layer that everyone loves.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden. Once done, remove from the oven using mitts and let it rest briefly. Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
