Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2.25 cups chicken, shredded into bite-sized pieces
Dairy & Cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature (~70°F)
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mozzarella, freshly grated
- 1 cup cheddar, freshly grated
- 1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar, shredded
- 2 tbsp blue cheese crumbles (preferably Treasure Cave)
Produce & Flavorings
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced on a bias
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Condiments
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces for even distribution. Soften cream cheese to room temperature (about 70°F) to ensure easy mixing.
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, sour cream, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Chicken and Cheese: Fold in the shredded chicken, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1 cup cheddar cheese into the creamy buffalo mixture until evenly combined.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and spread evenly.
- Top with More Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup cheddar cheeses evenly over the top for a cheesy crust.
- Bake the Dip: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of blue cheese crumbles and the sliced green onion over the hot dip. Serve warm with low-carb dippers like celery sticks or pork rinds.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
- Adjust the buffalo sauce quantity based on your preferred spice level.
- Using fresh grated cheese instead of pre-shredded helps the cheese melt smoother.
- Serve immediately for best texture or reheat gently if needed.
- Great for keto and low-carb diets.
