Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce
- 1/4 cup creamy blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
- 2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2–3 tablespoons creamy ranch dressing
- Splash of milk (for thinning ranch)
Instructions
- Shred the rotisserie chicken and set aside.
- Place a medium skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter slowly without browning.
- Add the cubed cream cheese to the melted butter and stir constantly until it breaks down into a smooth, lump-free paste (about 3-4 minutes).
- Stir in the hot sauce, blue cheese dressing, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese and chicken, stirring gently until the cheese melts and everything is coated.
- Remove from heat and let sit for a minute to thicken.
- Mix ranch dressing with a splash of milk to reach a drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the ranch over the top of the warm dip and serve immediately with tortilla chips or vegetables.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother melting. Avoid pre-shredded cheese as anti-caking agents can make the dip grainy. Do not freeze this dip as the dairy will separate. Serve with sturdy tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks.
