Ingredients
  

For the Dip
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken Adds protein and texture; use shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Provides creaminess; you can substitute with low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
  • 1 cup Buffalo Sauce Infuses the dip with its signature spicy kick; Frank’s RedHot is recommended.
  • 1 cup Ranch Dressing Balances the heat with creaminess and flavor; swap for blue cheese dressing for a tangier taste.
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheese (Cheddar or Monterey Jack) Adds gooey texture; feel free to mix cheeses for a complex flavor profile.
For Serving
  • 1 bag Tortilla Chips Perfect dippers that complement the dip’s creaminess.
  • 1 cup Celery Sticks Crunchy and refreshing, they offer a nice contrast to the rich dip.
  • 1 cup Carrot Sticks Add a bit of sweetness; great for dipping.
  • 1 loaf Crusty Bread Ideal for scooping; adds a comforting touch to every bite.
