Buffalo Chicken Dip

[Guest db99wj]

Had this the other night at a family get together. It was great, if you like this kind of thing and with the New Year and football and....well here it is.

Bonnie's Buffalo Chicken Dip

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, about 2 pounds, poached and shredded with 2 forks (my crockpot is great for this but however you want to cook them is fine)

1 - 12 ounce bottle Frank's Hot Sauce - NOT Tabasco, use Frank's or something other kind of Wing Hot Sauce

2 - 8 ounce packages cream cheese

1 - 16 ounce bottle of Ranch Dressing

1/2 cup celery chopped

8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese or combo thereof

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 13x9x2 inch baking pan, combine the shredded chicken and entire bottle of Frank's sauce, spreading to form an even layer. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream cheese and entire bottle of Ranch dressing, stirring til smooth and hot. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken mixture. Sprinkle celery evenly over all.

Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Then, add the shredded cheese and bake for another 20 minutes uncovered or til bubbly...don't let the top get too browned or it will be hardened. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes and serve with celery stalks or sturdy corn chip dippers

It's so good it will make you slap your grandma!

My wife makes buffaloe chicken dip but uses chicken out of a can. Not worth the trouble to use fresh chicken.

We had it last night and it was awesome.

That sounds really good. My sister in law makes a similar recipe except she uses blue cheese instead of ranch.

i think the ranch would better. Will have to try out soon.

Thanks.

Sounds good. Wish I had time to pull that together for tomorrow night, but it'll have to wait for some other time.
