About this recipe

The ultimate crowd-pleasing party dip — creamy, tangy, and packed with shredded chicken and bold buffalo flavor. This classic baked version is warm, cheesy, and perfectly spoonable with chips, celery, or bread. It comes together in minutes and disappears even faster.

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to ![350°F]. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish, an 8x8-inch baking dish, or a similar oven-safe dish.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer (or stir vigorously with a spatula) until smooth and lump-free.

3. 3

   Add the buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and blue cheese dressing (if using) to the cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

4. 4

   Fold in the shredded chicken breast and ¾ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

5. 5

   Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

6. 6

   Bake uncovered at ![350°F] for 20–25 minutes, until the dip is hot and bubbling around the edges and the cheese on top is melted and just starting to turn golden.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving — it will be very hot. Garnish with sliced celery, blue cheese crumbles, and chopped chives if desired.

8. 8

   Serve warm directly from the baking dish with tortilla chips, celery sticks, and/or sliced pita bread / baguette on the side.
