Buffalo Chicken Dip



Since football season has kicked off, I thought I'd share one of my favorite game-day recipes. I am a huge fan of hot wings...but honestly who isn't. My problem is I only like the flats also known as the wingettes...I have never been a fan of the "drummies" I only like the flats. Anytime we have an event there always a problem...why because I steal them all...Soooooo I devised a solution that makes everyone happy, and keeps your fingers from being covered in spicy red hot sauce. It also saves napkins lol. My spicy buffalo chicken dip...well...It's divine. 


Ingredients
  • 2 (8oz) Packages of Cream Cheese (Room Temperature)
  • 1 cup of Ranch Dressing 
  • 3/4 cup Franks Red Hot Sauce 
  • 10-12 oz of Chicken (you can use the breasts from a rotisserie chicken as well)
  • Desired amount of shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese 
 
First the Chicken...
 

Then beat cream cheese about a minute;
Then add Ranch and mix until they're incorporated.


Add the Wing Sauce and Stir.


Fold in the Cooked Chicken Breast.


We're almost done! 


Chop some Celery while the dip bakes.


Yeeeees! Time to eat. Try not to burn the roof of your mouth the with cheese :)



Directions:
  1. Pan sear chicken, add salt and black pepper to taste, set aside to cool down. 
  2. Make sauce by beating cream cheese and ranch dressing till smooth, add hot sauce. Set aside. 
  3. When chicken is cool, finely chop the chicken and then add it to the hot sauce mixture. 
  4. Pour into a dish and bake uncovered for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.  Remove and sprinkle mozzarella or cheddar cheese on top and bake again for 10 minutes. 
  5. Serve dip warm with tortilla chips. 

Happy Eating!
