A creamy, spicy buffalo chicken dip without the divisive blue cheese, perfect for parties and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Shred the chicken finely if not already shredded.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed and color is vibrant orange-red.
  5. Fold in shredded chicken, 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Reserve some cheese for topping.
  6. Transfer mixture to a baking dish and smooth out evenly. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges bubble and top is lightly golden.
  8. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for a crispier cheese topping, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  10. Sprinkle chopped chives or green onions on top and serve warm with dippers like pretzel sticks, celery, or pita chips.

Notes

Softening cream cheese is crucial for smooth blending; microwave in short bursts if needed. Shred chicken finely for better texture. Watch bake time closely to avoid drying out. Let dip rest after baking to firm up for easier scooping. Can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
