Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 300g)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (about 225g)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (about 120ml)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (about 120ml)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 100g)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 100g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In your mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Stir in the buffalo wing sauce and ranch dressing until fully combined.
  4. Add the shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Fold gently to coat evenly.
  5. Mix in about half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  6. Transfer the mixture into your greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is slightly browned.
  9. Remove from oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired.

Notes

Soften cream cheese thoroughly to avoid lumps. Mix buffalo sauce and ranch dressing before adding to cream cheese for even flavor. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness. Let dip cool slightly before serving for better texture. Variations include adding jalapeños for heat, swapping cheeses, or making a vegetarian or dairy-free version.
