Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chicken breasts cooked and shredded
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, homemade or store-bought
  • 3/4 cup buffalo sauce homemade or store bought
  • 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Stone House Seasoning
  • bleu cheese crumbles optional

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Grater
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350º F. This is essential to ensure that your dip bakes evenly and becomes beautifully bubbly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for the bleu cheese crumbles. Use your fork to mix everything thoroughly until well blended. The cream cheese should be softened enough to mix easily, creating a creamy texture.
  3. Once mixed, pour the creamy mixture into a medium baking dish, spreading it out evenly. This ensures that everything bakes uniformly.
  4. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. You’re looking for the dip to be hot and bubbly, with a slightly golden top.
  5. When your Buffalo Chicken Dip is ready, carefully remove it from the oven. At this point, you can sprinkle the bleu cheese crumbles on top, if you’re using them. This adds a beautiful finish and a punch of flavor.
  6. Serve immediately with your choice of dippers like celery sticks, tortilla chips, fritos, or warm pita chips. The contrast of the warm dip with the cool, crunchy vegetables is simply divine!
  7. If you want to make this in a slow cooker, lightly spray the insert with cooking spray or olive oil before adding the mixture. Cover with the lid and set to the low or warm setting. This method keeps the dip warm for up to 4 hours, making it perfect for parties.

Notes

  • Storage: After enjoying your dip, cool it down and place it in an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 to 4 days, making it a great option for meal prep.
  • Freezing: If you want to save some for later, cool the dip completely and then place it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Just remember to thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Pairing: This dip works well with a variety of sides, including crispy tortilla chips, crunchy celery sticks, or even sandwiches. It’s versatile enough to be served at various occasions!
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the dip in advance by mixing all the ingredients together and storing the mixture in the fridge. Just bake it right before serving!
  • Cooking Spray: When using a slow cooker, don’t forget to spray the insert with cooking spray or olive oil to avoid sticking.
  • Texture: If you want a thicker dip, you can reduce the amount of buffalo sauce slightly. This will create a more concentrated and creamy texture.
