Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- 9x13-inch baking dish
- Oven preheated to 350°F
Ingredients
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great, too!)
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust to your preferred heat level)
- 1/4 cup ranch salad dressing (or substitute with blue cheese dressing for a different twist)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 (16-ounce) package scoop-shaped tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your dip will bake evenly and melt to perfection.
- Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and sour cream. Mix until everything is well blended and creamy.
- Assemble the dip: Transfer the chicken mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving with scoop-shaped tortilla chips. Dig in!
