Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cooked chicken, hot sauce, ranch dressing, and blue cheese dressing if you are using it. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
- Stir in half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses into the chicken mixture.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top of the dip.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and lightly browned.
- Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Serve with tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or sturdy crackers for dipping.
- For a slow cooker version, combine all ingredients (except the top layer of cheese) in a small slow cooker. Cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour. Top with remaining cheese and cook until melted.
- You can substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a stronger flavor, or use half of each.
