Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2.25 cups shredded chicken (bite-sized pieces)

Dairy and Cheese

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature, about 70°F)
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese (1 cup + 1/2 cup, freshly grated)
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese (1 cup + 1/2 cup, freshly grated)
  • 2 tbsp blue cheese crumbles (preferably Treasure Cave)

Seasoning and Sauce

  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Garnish

  • 1 green onion (thinly sliced on a bias)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Mix base ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, sour cream, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and fully mixed to create a creamy buffalo base.
  3. Add chicken and cheese: Fold in the shredded chicken, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1 cup cheddar cheese into the buffalo base, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer to baking dish: Pour the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Bake the dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese has melted thoroughly.
  6. Add remaining cheese and blue cheese: Remove the dip from the oven, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup cheddar, and 2 tablespoons of blue cheese crumbles evenly on top.
  7. Second bake: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to melt and slightly brown the top cheeses.
  8. Garnish and serve: Once baked, take the dip out, sprinkle with thinly sliced green onions for freshness and presentation. Serve immediately with keto-friendly dippers such as celery sticks, pork rinds, or low-carb crackers.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and texture.
  • Chicken can be pre-cooked or leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control the spice level.
  • For a thicker dip, chill mixture before baking or bake longer until desired consistency.
  • Serve with keto-friendly dippers to keep it low carb.
