You probably wouldn't be surprised if I told you that I had to make myself write this post. The reason? It's not about dessert. Lol. It's true though. I most enjoy baking and blogging about breakfast and dessert. We've tried some new dinner recipes recently, and some of them have been genuinely, really good. But, I just don't feel the need to blog about them like I do about desserts and breakfasts.
But, this Buffalo Chicken Dip deserves a blog post. It's really good and so incredibly simple. Not to mention that it's also easy to personalize and to adjust for a couple or a crowd! Even though it's called "dip", we've eaten it on wraps, sandwiches, and as a dip. I really, really love a chicken wrap from Buffalo Wild Wings, so every once in a while, we buy a bottle of their sauce so that we can make chicken wraps at home. So I wanted to branch out and try a new recipe with it.
So, here's a new dinner or party recipe for you that has nothing to do with dessert!
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Adapted from several different recipes put together...
Note: Basically all of the amounts are approximate. You can add more or less of anything to adjust the flavor to your liking. I just sample it a couple of times until I'm happy with the flavor. I don't like spicy, so I usually throw in more ranch than called for.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of cooked chicken (I use chicken breasts that I boil and shred)
- 6-8 ounces cream cheese, softened (1/3 less fat for... less fat. You could try it with fat free too.)
- 1/2+ cup ranch (I used fat free, and we couldn't tell a difference from regular.)
- +/- 3/4 cup sauce (Most people use Frank's, but I used BWW.)
- 3/4 cup of your choice of shredded cheese (I used cheddar and then put mozzarella on my wrap.)
- Stir all ingredients together in an oven safe bowl. Sample a few times to adjust the heat and flavor to your tastes.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake in 350 degree oven. Stir every 10 minutes until heated through, about 30 minutes. You can just as easily microwave it; just make sure you stir it a few times during the process. Or, throw it in a small crock-pot to keep it hot if you're going to a party.
