Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
16 ounces cream cheese, softened and chopped into cubes
1.5 cups buffalo sauce I use Frank’s Red Hot
1 cup ranch dressing
2 to 3 cups cooked shredded chicken breasts
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
0.5 cup crumbled blue cheese for topping
chopped fresh parsley for garnish
celery sticks, crackers, tortilla chips, etc. for serving

Instructions

Heat oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add garlic to the hot oil and cook for 15 seconds or until fragrant.
To the saucepan add the cubed cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing; decrease heat to medium-low and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until mixture is smooth and cream cheese is completely melted and creamy. Whisk frequently.
Add shredded chicken and cheddar cheese to the saucepan; mix and stir until well combined. Continue to cook until heated through and cheese is melted.
Remove from heat. Garnish the dip with blue cheese crumbles and parsley.
Serve with celery sticks, crackers, tortilla chips, veggies, etc...

Notes

You’ll need 2 to 3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken. You can use leftover chicken breasts or a rotisserie chicken - just shred the meat before adding it to the sauce. To make this dip a little lighter, use Neufchatel cheese, which is similar to cream cheese but has a lower fat content. This dip is easy to make in a cast iron skillet instead of a saucepan, and the skillet makes an excellent presentation. Store leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
