Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip.
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with water and bringing it to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, gently add the chicken breasts.
Step 3
Cover the pot and lower the heat to medium, allowing the chicken to simmer for about 10 minutes.
Step 4
You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear; a quick check with an instant-read thermometer should show at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool for a bit before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 6
While the chicken cools, grab a saucepan and set it over low heat.
Step 7
Pour in the ranch dressing and sour cream, stirring them together until they’re warmed through, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 8
Next, add in the hot sauce and half a cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, mixing well before folding in the shredded chicken.
Step 9
This creamy, cheesy mixture is where the magic happens! Now, transfer this delicious blend into an 8-inch round baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 10
Sprinkle the remaining cup of Cheddar cheese on top for that irresistible cheesy crust.
Step 11
To let the flavors meld beautifully, pop the dish in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
Step 12
When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 13
Take the dip out of the fridge and slide it into the oven.
Step 14
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is gloriously bubbly and golden.
Step 15
Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for a few moments—if you can resist the temptation! This creamy, cheesy dip is perfect for sharing, so gather your friends and family, and enjoy every delicious bite!.
