Buffalo Chicken Dip

Football Food

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (or approx 2-3 large chicken breasts)
  • 1 cup ranch dressing 
  • 1 cup Franks Original Red Hot 
  • 1 block (8 oz) of cream cheese 
  • 1 pkg (2 cups) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Green onions or celery (optional)

Directions:

1)   Boil chicken breasts on the stove in a medium to large sauce pan.  Use medium heat for 30-45 minutes or until cooked all the way through.
2)   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3)   While chicken is boiling, take out 11.5” x 8” x 2” deep baking dish and mist lightly with buttered cooking spray.  Cut cold cream cheese into cubes and place in dish.  Evenly sprinkle fancy shredded cheese on top of the cream cheese cubes.  Pour 1 cup ranch and 1 cup Franks Red Hot on top and place the dish into the oven uncovered.  Bake 7-10 minutes.
4)   After 7-10 minutes, take dish out and stir mixture.  Bake another 7-10 minutes.  Take out and stir again until mixture and cream cheese are mixed well.
5)   While mixture is baking, shred chicken.  After it is done boiling, the best way to speed this process is to run the chicken under cold water.  When cool enough to touch, hand-shred chicken into a bowl.
6)   When mixture is baked, add shredded chicken by pouring it on top of the mixture.  Carefully stir the dish well.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes.

7)   Once baked, carefully pour into your serving bowl.  Garnish with green onion or celery.  Enjoy!
