Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Dip

Chicken – Use leftover chicken, shredded, or rotisserie chicken or poached chicken breasts. If using canned chicken, drain it very well and fold it gently as it tends to break apart.

Cheese – This recipe uses sharp cheddar for extra flavor, but try other cheeses like Colby-Jack cheese. Pre-shredded cheese works well in this recipe.

Buffalo Sauce – Buffalo sauce is the star of this recipe. You can make your own with butter and hot sauce or use Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce.

Seasonings – Green onions and garlic powder add flavor.

Variations

  • Diced green chiles or sliced jalapenos
  • Diced bell peppers or celery for crunch
  • Bacon bits
