Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 300 g)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225 g)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (120 ml)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (120 ml)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100 g)
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, 30 g)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces (about 2 cups).
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with ranch dressing. Blend until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or sturdy spoon.
- Stir in buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly incorporated.
- Fold in the shredded chicken gently, coating each piece with the sauce.
- Transfer the mixture to an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking dish and spread evenly.

- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
If dip is too thick before baking, add a splash of milk or extra ranch dressing to loosen. If too runny, add more shredded cheese. Let dip rest 5 minutes after baking to thicken. Use rotisserie chicken for best texture and flavor. Can be warmed in microwave but baking gives a better golden top.
