Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 300g)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225g)
- ½ cup buffalo hot sauce (120ml), recommended Frank’s RedHot
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles (75g)
- ½ cup sour cream (120ml)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100g)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. If cream cheese isn’t softened, microwave in 10-second bursts until pliable.
- Add buffalo hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
- Fold in shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and blue cheese crumbles. Mix just enough to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish or oven-safe skillet and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are bubbly and top is slightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Garnish with chopped chives or green onions before serving.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing. Avoid overmixing cheeses to prevent grainy texture. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt and blue cheese with a dairy-free alternative. Can be made in a slow cooker on low for 1-2 hours. Serve with celery sticks, tortilla chips, or sliced baguette. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
