Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch-style dressing
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 pinch garlic powder
- to taste salt and black pepper
- optional celery sticks or tortilla chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish that fits the dip comfortably.
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and hot sauce. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Fold in the shredded chicken and crumbled blue cheese, plus the garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and the edges are lightly golden.
- If you like a browner top, you can broil for an additional 1–2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving with celery sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers.
