Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (100g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ cup (60g) blue cheese, crumbled
- ½ cup (120ml) Frank’s RedOriginal hot sauce
- 2 cups (300g) shredded rotisserie chicken, drained
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup (60ml) full-fat ranch dressing
- 2 stalks celery, finely diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Softening the cream cheese by cutting it into cubes and letting it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and crumbled blue cheese.
- Add the ranch dressing and minced garlic to the bowl.
- Use a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides to remove lumps.
- Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and hot sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9×9 inch baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly around the edges and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to allow the dip to set slightly.
- Garnish with extra blue cheese crumbs and chopped parsley if desired, then serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or chips.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Drain excess liquid from the rotisserie chicken to prevent a watery dip. Adjust hot sauce quantity based on heat preference. The dip can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated before baking. Leftovers store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
