A creamy, spicy, and crispy buffalo chicken dip topped with melted cheddar and mozzarella cheese, perfect for game nights, parties, or casual snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to reach temperature.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add shredded chicken to the bowl and fold gently until evenly coated.
  4. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer the mixture to an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly about an inch thick.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden brown at the edges.
  8. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to set.
  10. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
  11. Serve warm with tortilla chips.

Notes

Soften cream cheese well to avoid lumps. Use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for the perfect crispy and melty top. Adjust buffalo sauce for desired heat level. Broil carefully for extra crispiness. Leftovers reheat well in microwave or oven. Can be made ahead and baked before serving.
