The classic Buffalo flavor
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
💡 Pro tip: Forgot to soften cream cheese? Microwave for 15-20 seconds!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Buffalo hot sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Don't worry if it looks orange – that's the Buffalo goodness!
Gently fold in the shredded chicken and blue cheese crumbles until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Taste test time! Add more hot sauce for heat or ranch for mildness.
Transfer to a shallow 1-quart baking dish (8x8 or 9x9 inch works perfectly). Bake for 20 minutes until heated through and bubbly around the edges.
Optional: Give it a stir halfway through for even heating.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and extra blue cheese if desired. Serve immediately while hot with your favorite dippers.
