Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients

16 ounces cooked and shredded chicken – You can cook the chicken yourself. I like to poach mine – this recipe for slow cooker buffalo chicken dip shows how to poach the chicken. Canned chicken or a rotisserie chicken can also be used.
Buffalo sauce – any kind will do!
Ranch – any kind will do!
Blue cheese – this is optional, but I like the flavor.
Cream cheese – make sure it’s room temperature so it can be stirred easily.
Shredded cheese – cheddar, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack or mozzarella are great options.
Green onions or cilantro – These aren’t necessary, but I do like the color it adds and also the flavor. I suggest adding at least one of them.
Tortilla chips, veggies or crackers – these are all great serving options. I love celery and carrots for vegetables.
