Spicy Buffalo Chicken Dip (Printable View)

Creamy, spicy chicken and cheese blend with Buffalo sauce, served warm with crispy tortilla chips.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast (approximately 2 large breasts)

02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened

03 - 1/2 cup sour cream

04 - 1/2 cup ranch dressing

05 - 1/2 cup Buffalo hot sauce

06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

07 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

08 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced

09 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

10 - 10 oz tortilla chips

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish, approximately 1.5 quarts in capacity.

02 - In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing, and Buffalo sauce until smooth.

03 - Fold in shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese until evenly combined.

04 - Spread the combined mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

05 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until hot and bubbling. Optionally, broil for 2 to 3 minutes to achieve a golden top.

06 - Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and chopped parsley if using.

07 - Serve warm alongside tortilla chips.

01 -

It comes together in under an hour with zero fussy techniques—just mix, bake, and serve.
The combination of creamy, tangy, and spicy hits every flavor note without being overwhelming.
You can make it ahead and reheat it, which is a lifesaver when you're juggling other dishes.

02 -

Don't overbake it or the edges will dry out and pull away from the dish—20 minutes is usually perfect, and 25 is your absolute maximum.
If you make this ahead, let it come to room temperature before reheating, and cover it loosely with foil so the top doesn't brown too much while the inside warms through.

03 -

Use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is actually at 350°F—ovens drift, and this prevents over or underbaking.
If you're doubling the recipe for a larger crowd, increase baking time by 5 to 10 minutes and watch for bubbling around the edges as your signal that it's ready.
