Buffalo Chicken Dip – Great Tastes of Manitoba

Ingredients

1-8 oz (250 g) pkg. cream cheese, room temperature
⅓ - ½ cup (75 mL-125 mL) buffalo wing sauce
⅓ cup (75 mL) ranch dressing
2 cups (500 mL) chicken breast, cooked and shredded (about 2 small breasts)
2 cups (500 mL) mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
Blue cheese crumbles and green onions for garnish, as desired

Method

Preheat oven to 350˚F (175˚C) and lightly grease a 6 – 8″ round baking dish (or of similar size).
In a medium bowl, using electric mixer beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add buffalo wing sauce and ranch dressing and beat on medium speed until combined.
Stir in shredded chicken and 1 cup (250 mL) cheese.
Taste and adjust seasoning to your taste (add more buffalo sauce to increase the spice, add more cream cheese, sour cream or dressing to reduce).
Spread into baking dish and top with remaining cheese.
Cover and refrigerate to save for later or bake as directed.
Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes until bubbly at the edges. Broil for 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese, if desired.
Garnish with green onions and crumbled blue cheese.

Tips

Leftover dip will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat, warm in the microwave or bake until heated through. You can also sub the ranch with blue cheese dressing.
