How To Make easy buffalo chicken dip
-
Step 1NOTE: If you're cooking fresh chicken, do this first. (I boil chicken breasts in a covered saucepan for about 45 minutes, then remove from water & cool before shredding.)
-
Step 2Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and mist a 2 qt. baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
-
Step 3In a skillet, melt the blocks of cream cheese, then stir in the celery. Mix well.
-
Step 4Add the small bottle of dressing and some of the mozzarella cheese.
-
Step 5Then add the chicken. Next, stir in some hot sauce (to taste). Mix well
-
Step 6Pour the skillet contents into the prepared baking dish. Cover ingredients with mozzarella cheese.
-
Step 7**(Everything up to this point can be done ahead of time, but consider using a metal pan if it's going from the refrigerator to the oven, unless you have bakeware that can take the temperature extremes.)
-
Step 8Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or microwave for 4 minutes or so (check carefully), until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted. Serve with your favorite dippers & extra hot sauce. (Sorry there is no photo. It smelled so good coming out of the oven that it was carried away & eaten before I remember I needed to take one!)
