  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grab a medium-sized baking dish, such as an 8x8 inch square dish or a 1.5-quart oval dish.
Mixing the Dip
  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined and smooth.
  2. Gently fold in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the dip.
Baking the Dip
  1. Transfer the buffalo chicken dip mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  2. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dip.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly around the edges and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden brown.
Serving
  1. Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Serve the warm Buffalo Chicken Dip with tortilla chips, celery sticks, and any desired optional toppings like blue cheese crumbles or sliced green onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, use freshly cooked and shredded chicken breast. You can also adjust the amount of buffalo wing sauce to your preferred spice level. If you don't have ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing can be used as an alternative for a tangier flavor.
