Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded (about 10.5 oz or 300g)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh chives or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces, about 3 cups.
- In a mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese by beating with a hand mixer or mashing with a spoon until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add sour cream, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Fold in the shredded chicken and half of the shredded cheddar cheese with a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the mixture into a prepared 8×8 inch baking dish and smooth the top.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and blue cheese crumbles over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier mixing. If needed, microwave cream cheese for 10-15 seconds to soften. Avoid overbaking to prevent drying out. For extra creaminess, stir in a splash of whole milk or Greek yogurt before baking. Serve warm with celery sticks, tortilla chips, or toasted baguette slices. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated and reheat gently.
