Ingredients
Scale
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if using the oven method.
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, hot sauce, and ranch dressing until well combined.
Stir in the blue cheese, if using.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish or slow cooker insert.
Top evenly with shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned. If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 2-3 hours or on high for 1-1.5 hours, until heated through and cheese is melted.
Serve hot with your favorite dippers like tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers.
Notes
For a make-ahead option, prepare the dip up to the point of adding the cheese topping. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add the cheese topping just before baking.
You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your spice preference.
This dip is also delicious served over baked potatoes or as a filling for quesadillas.
