Cream Buffalo Chicken Dip
Let’s face it. The trick to any successful get-together depends on the buffet. One of my favorite must-have dishes is this creamy buffalo chicken dip made with Hiland Dairy’s award-winning cream cheese. It’s definitely a crowd-pleaser because it’s usually the first thing gobbled up and I usually get asked for the recipe. Here it is!
Creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken 1 tsp olive oil 1 stalk celery, diced 1 package (8 oz) Hiland Diary Cream Cheese 3/4 cup ranch dressing 3/4 cup blue cheese dressing 1/3 cup hot pepper sauce 1 1/2 cups Hiland Dairy Sharp Cheddar Cheese Chopped green onions and blue cheese crumbles, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat oil in a large skillet. Sautee the chopped celery until soft, about two minutes.
Mix in the cream cheese, blue cheese dressing and ranch dressing. Cook until cream cheese is completely melted and mixture is smooth and creamy.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until edges are golden brown and bubbly.
Top with green onions and blue cheese crumbles. Serve warm with celery sticks and chicken flavored crackers.
Diva’s Tip
Want to spice up things? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and some seafood seasoning. Also, try swapping out a ½ cup of Hiland Dairy Sharp Cheddar Cheese with a ½ cup of Hiland Dairy Pepper Jack Cheese.
