A quick and easy creamy buffalo chicken dip with a tangy twist of blue cheese crumbles, perfect for parties and casual hangouts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 300 grams)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives or green onions, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Shred the cooked chicken finely, about 2 cups.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in shredded chicken and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing gently to combine.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly into an 8×8-inch baking dish and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly and cheddar is melted.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle blue cheese crumbles evenly over the top. The residual heat will soften them slightly.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or green onions if desired and serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crusty bread.

Notes

[‘Softened cream cheese is key to avoid lumps.’, ‘Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control heat level.’, ‘Fold in blue cheese last to keep its crumbly texture.’, ‘Watch the dip during the last 5 minutes of baking to avoid burning the cheese.’, ‘For a crispier top, broil for 1-2 minutes but watch closely.’, ‘Leftovers reheat well in microwave or oven.’, ‘Can be made ahead and baked before serving.’, ‘Blue cheese can be substituted with ranch dressing or feta for milder flavor.’, ‘Use dairy-free alternatives to make it vegan.’, ‘Serve with gluten-free dippers to keep it gluten-free.’]
