Check the ingredients and follow the step-by-step directions!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened (226g)

  • ½ cup ranch dressing 115ml

  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce 115ml

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • 1 1/3 cups sharp shredded cheddar cheese divided (170g, divided)

  • 2 cups well-shredded chicken* 275g

  • 2 Thinly sliced green onions for topping optional

  • Corn chips, crackers, toasted bread slices, etc. for dipping

Directions

  • Now, the first thing you want to do is pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Next, you’re going to want to grab 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, and we’ll drop this into a large mixing bowl.
  • While an electric mixer is not absolutely required, I like to use one to beat the cream cheese until it’s nice and smooth. If you don’t have a mixer you can do this step by hand.mixer
  • Next, we’re going to add 1/2 cup each of ranch dressing and buffalo sauce.
  • Now, many recipes out there use sour cream rather than ranch dressing, but in my opinion nothing goes with buffalo sauce quite like ranch does.
  • We’re also going to add a couple of spices. I like to use 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika.
  • So, let’s go ahead and mix everything together until it’s nice and smooth.mixing
  • Next, you’re going to need 2 cups of shredded chicken.shredded chicken
  • Now, I personally love to add some cheese into my dip as well. We’re going to be adding 1 cup and I like to use sharp cheddar. This is a blend of sharp yellow and sharp white and I graded it myself just because it’s going to melt a lot better than the cheese that you buy pre-shredded in the bag.add cheese
  • I will also add some thinly sliced green onions. This is 2 onions, 2 green onions that is.
  • Now, we’ll just use our spatula to stir everything together until this mixture is nice and smooth and completely combined.stir
  • You can make this dip in a cast iron pan or an 8×8 baking dish. I personally like to use either a pie plate or this cute, decorative, I think it’s a quiche plate, I’m not sure but, we’re going to be using this today. We’ll spread this evenly into our dish.
  • Then, I like to take an additional 1/4 cup of cheese and just sprinkle this over the top now.top cheese
  • We’ll take this over to our oven and we’ll bake it for about 15 to 20 minutes or until it’s nice and bubbly.
  • If you’d like you can sprinkle a few more thinly sliced green onions on top before serving.
