Equipment

  • Sauce Pan
  • Quart Baking Dish
  • rubber spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs chicken thighs, shredded
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup Franks Red Hot Buffalo Sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 Bottle ranch
  • 2 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 oz blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 green onions, diced

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken

  • If you haven't already, cook the chicken. You can boil, bake, or grill chicken breasts until they're fully cooked until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Then shred or dice them. Alternatively, you can use rotisserie chicken for convenience. 
  • Note - This step can be done 1-2 days in advance. 

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a large pot, sauté diced onion and celery with 1tbsp butter for 5 minutes. 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

  • Once the veggies finish sautéing, combine the cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce. Stir until well combined and smooth.

Add the Chicken

  • Add the cooked chicken to the bowl and mix until the chicken is evenly coated with the cream cheese mixture.

Transfer to a Baking Dish

  • Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Sprinkle Cheese

  • Sprinkle the cheddar and blue cheese on top of the dip.

Bake and Cool

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden brown.
    Once done, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish and Serve

  • If desired, garnish with chopped green onions, more blue cheese crumbles, or a drizzle of ranch dressing before serving.
  • Serve the buffalo chicken dip warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

Serve with carrot and celery sticks, tortilla chips, and/or crackers.
