Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken (such as the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 (8 ounce) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (I use Frank's Red Hot brand)
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet dry ranch seasoning mix (I use Hidden Valley brand)
  • ½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • Optional garnish: sliced green onions
  • For serving: fresh vegetables; crackers; chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch (or 11 x 8-inch) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat together the cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning until smooth.

Notes

Crock Pot Method: Stir together the chicken, cream cheese, wing sauce, and ranch seasoning in a Crock Pot. Cover and cook on low for about 1 hour, or until hot and bubbly. Give it a good stir until everything is nicely combined. Top with the shredded cheese and let it melt before serving.
For crispier melted cheese on top, place the dish under the broiler for the final 1-2 minutes.
