  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) buffalo hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup (75g) blue cheese crumbles
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 1 cup (115g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped green onions or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Shred the cooked chicken finely with two forks or your fingers until you have about 2 cups (300g).
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 oz (225g) softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk vigorously until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup (120ml) buffalo hot sauce.
  5. Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and black pepper to taste. Mix well.
  6. Gently fold in the shredded chicken and 1/2 cup (75g) blue cheese crumbles, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Spread the mixture evenly into an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle 1 cup (115g) shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to brown at the edges.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives if desired. Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or sliced baguette.

Notes

[‘Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth base.’, ‘Shred chicken finely for even texture and better sauce absorption.’, ‘Do not overdo the buffalo sauce to avoid watery dip.’, ‘Bake until just bubbly and golden to prevent dryness or greasiness.’, ‘Let dip rest for a few minutes after baking to thicken.’, ‘Can prepare dip mixture a day ahead and refrigerate; bake before serving.’, ‘For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and sour cream with coconut-based alternatives and omit or replace blue cheese.’, ‘For low-carb/keto, serve with celery sticks or pork rinds instead of chips.’, ‘Freezes well up to 2 months; thaw overnight and reheat gently.’]
