The perfect buffalo chicken dip! 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s RedHot preferred)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for depth)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2–3 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven: to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (8x8 or similar).

  2. Mix base: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in sour cream, mayonnaise, and buffalo sauce until fully combined.

  3. Add cheeses: Fold in Parmesan, mozzarella, cheddar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  4. Fold in chicken: Mix shredded chicken into the creamy base until evenly coated.

  5. Bake: Spread mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until hot and bubbling around the edges.

  6. Finish: Remove from oven, sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese, and let sit for 5 minutes.

  7. Garnish: Scatter sliced green onions over the top before serving.
