Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Soften the cream cheese if needed (microwave in 10-second bursts until soft but not melted).
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of buffalo wing sauce. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Add the shredded chicken, remaining buffalo sauce, ranch dressing (or Greek yogurt), garlic powder, onion powder, 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar, and all of the mozzarella. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 9-inch baking dish or small oven-safe skillet. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the top. If using blue cheese, sprinkle it on now.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges and the top is golden brown in spots.
  8. Let the dip rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.

Notes

For the creamiest texture, ensure cream cheese is truly softened. Shred your own cheese for best melting. The dip can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated; add 5-10 minutes to baking time if starting cold. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
