- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce (or similar)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, for topping)
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe skillet.
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, blue cheese or ranch dressing, and hot sauce. Mix until smooth.
- Fold in the shredded chicken and 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Top the dip evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and the crumbled blue cheese, if using.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden brown.
- Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, reduce the amount of sour cream slightly.
- You can prepare the dip mixture up to 24 hours ahead of time; cover and refrigerate, then add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
- If the dip seems oily after baking, gently blot the top surface with a paper towel before serving.
