Ingredients

  • 12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (See Tip 1)
  • ¾ cup Blue Cheese Dressing (See Tip 2)
  • ¾ cup Frank’s Red Hot Wings Sauce
  • 3 cups (12-ounces) shredded rotisserie chicken (See Tip 3)
  • 1 ¼ cups shredded Colby Jack cheese, divided (See Tip 4)
  • Minced fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Beat together cream cheese, Blue Cheese Dressing and Wings Sauce in a large bowl on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add chicken and ¾ cup of cheese. Stir to combine all ingredients.
  • Transfer to 8-inch oven-proof dish. Top with remaining ½ cup of cheese. May be prepared in advance to this point. (See Tips 5 and 6)
  • Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and dip is bubbly. Remove from oven; cool for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with minced parsley if desired. Serve with celery sticks, Fritos Scoops, Triscuits, etc.
  • Yield: 8 servings. (See Tip 7)

Notes

  • I used Neufchâtel cream cheese which has ⅓ less fat.
  • Rather than Blue Cheese Dressing, feel free to use Ranch Dressing of a combination of the two.
  • You can use two skinless and boneless chicken breasts rather than the rotisserie chicken. If using chicken breasts, boil for 15 minutes, drain and shred with two forks.
  • You can also use Cheddar cheese, Mozzarella cheese or Monterey Jack cheese.
  • I like to use my 8-inch cast iron skillet to heat and serve the dip, but any oven-proof dish will work.
  • If made in advance and refrigerated, increase the cooking time by an additional 5 minutes.
  • It’s highly unlikely that you will have any leftovers. However, if you do, the dip can be reheated the next day. Also, it’s delicious spread on bread and toasted!
