Spicy Buffalo Chicken Dip (Printable)

A creamy, spicy chicken blend loaded with cheese, served warm alongside crispy tortilla chips.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast (approximately 2 large breasts)

02 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

03 - ½ cup sour cream

04 - ½ cup ranch dressing

05 - ½ cup Buffalo hot sauce

06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

07 - ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

08 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced

09 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

10 - 10 ounces tortilla chips

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a medium baking dish (approximately 1.5 quarts).

02 - In a large mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing, and Buffalo hot sauce until smooth.

03 - Fold shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese into the sauce mixture until well combined.

04 - Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

05 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until hot and bubbly. Optionally, broil for 2 to 3 minutes for a golden top.

06 - Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then sprinkle with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.

07 - Serve warm accompanied by tortilla chips.

01 -

It comes together in under 15 minutes of actual work, then the oven does the heavy lifting while you relax.
That sour cream keeps the dip from being too heavy, so you can actually eat more than you planned without feeling weighed down.
The Buffalo sauce brings just enough heat to keep things interesting without burning anyone's mouth off.

02 -

Don't use cold cream cheese straight from the fridge or you'll spend ten minutes fighting lumps; soften it on the counter first.
Taste the mixture before it goes in the oven so you can adjust the spice level—it won't change much once baked, so now's your moment.

03 -

Make this dip in a smaller baking dish if you're serving a smaller group—it heats more evenly and cooks slightly faster.
Broiling for just 2–3 minutes at the end gives you a golden top that looks restaurant-quality and tastes slightly crispy, but step away from the oven and keep watching so it doesn't burn.
