Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes or microwaving for 10-15 seconds.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir until smooth.
- Add the buffalo hot sauce and stir until the mixture is uniform in color. Fold in the shredded chicken.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar for the top. Stir the remaining 1 cup of cheese into the dip.
- Transfer the mixture to an 8×8-inch baking dish and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly around the edges and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a milder dip, use 1/3 cup hot sauce. For extra heat, add chopped pickled jalapeños or cayenne. The dip can be assembled ahead and refrigerated; add 5-10 minutes to bake time. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
