Notes
- It will add more time, but I think it’s worth it! After the buffalo chicken dip is in the serving dish, I like to stick it in the broiler for 2 minutes before adding the bleu cheese crumbles and scallions as a garnish to get that golden, bubbly goodness.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
- Chicken: I am a big fan of one-pot meals; hello, fewer dishes. I suggest canned chicken in this recipe (I know, I know, but it’s actually good). You can also use broken-down rotisserie chicken or boil 2-3 chicken breasts if you prefer.
- Cream Cheese: Use softened cream cheese for this recipe, and to ensure the result is thick and creamy, full-fat cream cheese is best.
- Butter: Butter and buffalo sauce are the perfect pair!
- Buffalo Sauce: Cater the heat to your preferences. I use ½ cup most often, but if I need the sauce to be milder, I lower the amount used to ¼ cup. To make the dip spicier, I suggest going with the recommended amount and adding thinly sliced jalapeños or poblanos.
- Ranch: It adds flavor but also contributes to the creamy finish. Use sour cream or Greek yogurt as an alternative.
- Cheddar Cheese: This is buffalo chicken dip; you can never have enough cheese.
- Bleu Cheese Crumbles: Whole bleu cheese crumbles add tang and texture- they also serve as a garnish.
- Scallions: Top the dip with thinly sliced scallions for a nice peppery finish.
