A quick and easy baked dip made with rotisserie chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and cheddar, topped with crunchy breadcrumbs. Perfect for game day or last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch dressing mix
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 stalks green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Add sour cream, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing mix to the bowl; mix until well combined.
  4. Fold in the shredded chicken and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with breadcrumbs and sprinkle evenly over the dip.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly around the edges and hot in the center.
  8. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for a crispier top, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped green onions and serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Do not use pre-shredded cheese as it contains anti-caking agents that prevent smooth melting. This dip does not freeze well due to dairy separation; store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
