Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (using rotisserie chicken is recommended for convenience)

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (plus additional for topping)

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust according to your preferred heat level)

1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, for an extra tangy flavor)

1-2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Using a hand mixer or spatula, blend these ingredients together until they are smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for your dip.

      Incorporate Chicken and Sauce: Gently fold in the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce, stirring until the chicken is evenly coated. Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese and the optional blue cheese crumbles at this stage. Season with salt and pepper to your liking, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients.

        Prepare for Baking: Transfer the chicken mixture into a 9-inch baking dish or an oven-safe skillet, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking.

          Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dip for a cheesy, gooey finish.

            Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling around the edges and the cheese on top turns golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with the sliced green onions for a fresh touch before serving. Enjoy it warm alongside tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for dipping!
