A quick and easy creamy buffalo chicken dip perfect for parties, featuring a spicy buffalo tang and served with colorful crispy red and blue tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 280g), rotisserie chicken recommended
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (227g), softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (120ml), such as Frank’s RedHot
  • 1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt (120g), can substitute with sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 110g)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 55g)
  • 1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix or 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 cups red and blue corn tortilla chips (about 180g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer or sturdy spoon (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add buffalo sauce, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Stir in shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese until well incorporated.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, starting with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of black pepper.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) baking dish, spreading evenly to about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top, checking at 18 minutes if your oven runs hot.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
  9. Serve warm with crispy red and blue tortilla chips arranged around the dish.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Rotisserie chicken is recommended for ease. Greek yogurt lightens the dip without losing creaminess but can be substituted with sour cream. Watch baking time carefully to avoid drying out. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese, yogurt, and vegan cheddar. Chips should be kept separate until serving to maintain crispness. Leftovers reheat well in microwave or oven.
