Description
An easy Buffalo chicken dip made with shredded cooked chicken, Buffalo-style hot sauce, cream cheese, sour cream and blue cheese. Serve it warm as a cheesy dip or use the chicken filling for sliders, sandwiches, tacos and more.
Ingredients
1 T unsalted butter
1/2 c minced onions
2 c shredded cooked chicken
1/2 c Buffalo style hot sauce (I use Frank's)
4 ounces room temperature cream cheese, cut into pieces
1/4 c sour cream
1/4 c crumbled blue cheese
1/2 c of your favorite melting cheese, shredded (Cheddar, Provolone, Havarti, Gruyere, Monterey Jack)
Instructions
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and saute until transparent, about 2 minutes.
Add chicken and hot sauce and simmer until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Turn off heat and stir in cream cheese, sour cream and blue cheese until blended and melted.
- For dip: Transfer to an oven-safe dish and top with the shredded melting cheese. Bake at 375°F until hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted. Broil briefly to brown the top, if desired.
- For baked sandwiches: Arrange four slices of artisan bread on a preheated broiler pan. Divide the chicken mixture among the slices, top with shredded melting cheese and bake at 375°F for about six minutes, until the cheese melts and the sandwiches are hot.
