A quick and easy creamy buffalo chicken dip with tangy blue cheese, perfect for parties and last-minute gatherings. The dip balances spicy heat with creamy and sharp flavors for a crowd-pleasing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 10.5 oz / 300g)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce (4 fl oz)
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (about 2.6 oz / 75g)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (4 fl oz)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 oz / 115g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out for about 30 minutes or microwaving for 20 seconds.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, buffalo hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until creamy and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Fold in the shredded chicken gently, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  5. Stir in half of the blue cheese crumbles and shredded cheddar cheese, folding carefully to create pockets of melted cheese and tangy surprises.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a prepared 9×9-inch baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining blue cheese crumbles and cheddar cheese on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges bubble and the top is light golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  10. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions if desired and serve warm with favorite dippers.

Notes

Do not overmix the chicken to keep texture chunky. Soften cream cheese well for smooth mixing. Adjust buffalo sauce to control heat level. Use fresh blue cheese crumbles for best flavor. Reheat leftovers in a 300°F oven to maintain creamy texture. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and sour cream with plant-based alternatives but flavor will differ.
