• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing Shop
• 0.25 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot) Shop
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 bag corn tortilla chips or GF crackers for serving Shop

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish. If you prefer a stovetop method, have a heat-safe serving bowl ready.
2. 2 In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch or blue cheese dressing, and hot sauce. Stir these ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed and form a creamy base, about 2-3 minutes.
3. 3 Add the melted butter, salt, and black pepper to the chicken mixture. Stir in half of the shredded cheese and half of the chopped fresh chives. Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings as needed, ensuring a balanced flavor profile.
4. 4 Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden brown. If using a stovetop method, heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through and creamy.
5. 5 Remove the buffalo chicken dip from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before garnishing with the remaining fresh chives. Serve immediately with warm corn tortilla chips or your favorite gluten-free crackers and an assortment of fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
