Servings : 14
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 16 ounces (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened and chopped into cubes
  • cups buffalo sauce, I use Frank’s Red Hot
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 to 3 cups cooked shredded chicken breasts
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese, for topping
  • chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • celery sticks, crackers, tortilla chips, etc..., for serving

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add garlic to the hot oil and cook for 15 seconds or until fragrant.
  • To the saucepan add the cubed cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing; decrease heat to medium-low and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until mixture is smooth and cream cheese is completely melted and creamy. Whisk frequently.
  • Add shredded chicken and cheddar cheese to the saucepan; mix and stir until well combined. Continue to cook until heated through and cheese is melted.
  • Remove from heat. Garnish the dip with blue cheese crumbles and parsley.
  • Serve with celery sticks, crackers, tortilla chips, veggies, etc...

Notes

  • Chicken: You’ll need 2 to 3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken. You can use leftover chicken breasts or a rotisserie chicken - just shred the meat before adding it to the sauce.
  • Neufchatel: To make this dip a little lighter, use Neufchatel cheese, which is similar to cream cheese but has a lower fat content.
  • Opt For a Cast Iron Skillet: This dip is easy to make in a cast iron skillet instead of a saucepan, and the skillet makes an excellent presentation.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
