Key Ingredients

Chicken - The source of protein, you'll need 4 cups of cooked, shredded chicken. Rotisserie chicken works great for this quick chicken buffalo dip or you can use this meal prep crockpot chicken too!

Cream cheese - Use softened cream cheese so it mixes easily and achieves its signature creamy texture. I used full fat for the best flavor.

Colby jack cheese - It adds a mild cheesy flavor and melts perfectly.

Blue cheese crumbles - The key to achieving that classic buffalo bite. You can always leave this out if you are not a fan of blue cheese.

Frank's buffalo sauce - The secret to the best buffalo chicken dip flavor.

Ranch dressing - It balances the spice with creaminess.

Green onions - They add freshness and a little crunch.

Garlic powder - Enhances the dip's overall flavor.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Start by preheating the oven to 375°F.

Using a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients of the buffalo chicken dip. Mix until everything is fully incorporated.

Transfer the mixture to the cast iron and spread it evenly.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or just until bubbly, hot, and slightly golden on top.

Garnish with a little more blue cheese and green onions. Serve immediately with dippers of choice.

Make-Ahead

This dip can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance. Cover it tightly and refrigerate it. When ready to serve, bake as instructed and add a few extra minutes since it will be cold going into the oven.

Storage

If there are any leftovers, store them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F or microwave in short intervals until heated through.

While freezing is possible, the texture may change slightly due to the dairy, so freezing is not recommended for the best results.
