Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • ½ cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Tortilla chips, celery sticks for serving

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare chicken by shredding if not already cooked, and soften cream cheese to room temperature.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing until smooth to create the creamy base.
  3. Fold in shredded chicken, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, blue cheese crumbles (if using), and diced celery until evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer mixture to oven-safe baking dish, sprinkle remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese on top, and bake for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly with golden cheese topping.
  5. Remove from oven, let sit for 5 minutes, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve warm with tortilla chips or celery sticks.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Adjust spiciness with mild/medium/hot Buffalo sauce. Make ahead and refrigerate overnight, adding extra bake time. Shred chicken with two forks or stand mixer. Serve with gluten-free options if needed.
