Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe

How To Make:

Ingredients:
1 cream cheese block 8 oz
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cans chicken, drained (or one large can, approximately 12.5 oz)
6-7 Tbsp Buffalo sauce

*Note – if you aren’t a big fan of Buffalo sauce, I would start with 4 Tbsp and add more if you choose

Directions:

In a large pot over medium-low heat, combine cream cheese and ranch dressing. I usually find it easiest to dice up my cream cheese so that it heats faster.

Once melted, add your buffalo wing sauce in and stir to combine.

Add your shredded cheddar cheese and stir until it’s nice and stringy when you lift up the whisk or spoon. 

Break up the canned chicken in the can with a spoon and add that to the mixture.

Stir everything together until the cheese is completely melted and all of the ingredients are combined.

Taste your delicious dip to see if it is spicy enough for you. If you want some additional kick, add a little more spicy buffalo sauce. There is a reason that buffalo wings come in various levels of spice!

Once your dip has cooked through, pour it into a serving bowl. Top with some green onions or parsley, and a little bit of remaining shredded cheese or blue cheese crumbles.

Enjoy this easy buffalo dip recipe with tortilla chips or celery sticks, bell peppers, and carrot sticks.

Store any leftover buffalo chicken dip in the refrigerator under plastic wrap for up to 3 days. 

Do I Have To Use Canned Chicken For This Creamy Dip?

No! This recipe calls for white meat canned chicken because it works well and keeps your total time for prep down, but you can use other options. If you’d prefer to use fresh chicken or have cooked chicken breasts, leftover rotisserie chicken, or shredded chicken in the fridge, feel free to use those instead. Just make sure that the chicken you are adding to this yummy dip is cooked all the way through before adding it to the mixture.
