This Buffalo shredded chicken dip is perfect for a tailgate party — or anytime! Shredded chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce, and lots of melted cheese create a wonderful Buffalo wing flavor on chips or veggie sticks.
Ingredients
- 2 bone-in chicken breast halves
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 stalk celery, finely diced
- 1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese
- ¾ cup blue cheese dressing
- ¾ cup ranch dressing
- 1/3 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
Place chicken breasts in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain and allow chicken to cool enough to handle. Pull meat from bones and skin. Shred meat and set aside.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir celery in hot oil until soft. Mix in cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, and ranch dressing. Cook and stir until smooth and creamy. Stir in shredded chicken and hot sauce. Transfer to an 8×8-inch baking dish and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
Tips
You can substitute Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for Cheddar cheese.

This recipe came out great !!!!!
-
i made this by boiling a large whole chicken, using the breasts for this and the rest for chicken and dumplings. i used a wing sauce i already had in the fridge and store brand ranch and blue cheese dressings. my family loved it. it could even be better with higher quality dressings i’m sure. i used regular cream cheese. it’s great with fritos scoops!
-
My teenage son’s LOVED this. I did increase the Ranch dressing and decrease the blue cheese. Instead of melting cheese in the oven; I used the microwave. It was so filling I made it for dinner as the main dish with a side salad.
-
I didn’t have any blue cheese on hand, I just used the Ranch and cream cheese, I added a small amount of mozarella cheese in the mixture, topped with mexican blend shredded cheese. I was so good. Thanks for this recipe.
-
Fantastic!!!! I put all the ingredients together and put it in the microwave and it came out great… leftovers were even better. The one and only thing I added was onions. thanks for sharing
-
This dip is amazing! Everyone loves it! I used 6 chicken breasts 1 12oz bottle of Franks Red hot sauce 2 blocks cream cheese 1 jar of marie’s blue cheese dressing (makes a big difference!)
-
I love this dip! I made a few changes: I used 2 cans of chicken (12.5 oz each), 2 stalks of celery finely chopped, I didn’t use blue cheese or ranch dressing instead I used 1 16oz container of sour cream and a packet of ranch dip seasoning and made the ranch dip. I added it all to the mix. The ranch dip has a better taste than the dressing to me. All in all the dip was a hit at girls night….they are already asking me to make it for our next get together 🙂
-
The hit of the party!!!! I made the dip for 40 servings and changed nothing and EVERYONE LOVED IT!!!! Will make again…..
-
Loved it!
-
Insane. INSANE! I made to recipe, except I layered it instead of mixing it all together; it just looks better that way, in my opinion. I used Hidden Valley Ranch and Paul Newman Chunky Blue Cheese dressings, and Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce. Awesome.
-
My husband, who does not like spicy food couldn’t stop eating it.
-
LOVE IT EVERYTIME!
-
This was a super hit! We all loved it. I added more Franks Red Hot Sauce than the recipe called for because we like things a little spicier, but that was the only thing I changed. DELICIOUS!!
-
This recipe is great. My husband loves it and will eat it as often as I make it! It is a great dip to serve guests or to bring to parties. I use 1 1/2 cups blue cheese dressing and leave out the ranch dressing and the celery and it’s still delicious.
-
Was a huge hit at the last UFC party at my house! I used fat free ranch and low far cream cheese and it turned out great. Very good.
-
I only made a few changes to the recipe but I bet it would have been just as good if I hadn’t. Used leftover baked chicken and thigh,1/4 cup of the hot sauce and added a small diced onion and 2 celery sticks instead of one, last but not least did not have any bleu cheese dressing so used all ranch. I would say that the recipe is versatile enough to play around with and still have great results. Thanks for adding another terrific recipe from this site.
-
I made this recipe almost exactly as called for. I only substituted chicken breast tenders for the bone-in chicken. I think next time I make it, I will probably try all bleu cheese, as the mix of the ranch and bleu cheese was a little much for me. Otherwise, it was good…and it certainly got eaten up at my house.
-
This is a great dip, the only changes I made was to add 1 cup of hot sauce instead of 1/3 cup,and a extra chicken breast, it is like having buffalo wings without the mess. All the guys I work with loved it! Thanks for the great recipe. Also if you really want great flavor and heat use Louisiana hot sauce, it truely is the perfect hot sauce!
-
I had this for the 1st time at a football party last year. I kept trying to get the recipe from the girl that brought it but she was too busy doing shots to cooperate! I’m so glad I found the recipe. I made it this last Sunday for the Texans game and it was gone before the 1st Qtr was over! I added a little more hot sauce for my family’s taste and served with tortilla chips.
-
This was very good, but way too over powered by the blue cheese. I’ll be making it october 16 for my husbands birthdya party – but will gradually add the blue cheese to taste. Otherwise I loved it.
-
loved it, great hit! used white/dark meat from drumsticks & then saved the “water” for prep for making some good chicken soup!
-
YUMMY!!!!!!! This is so good! I didn’t have any Celery on hand, so I didn’t put it in, but my lord this was! I also added a heaping scoop of sour cream to the mixture, well I think 2, and mixed it all together..I also added a few extra shots of hot sauce, and used Colby Jack, and Pepper Jack cheeses on top! To die for!
-
This was good, but I’m going to try again using actual blue cheese instead of blue cheese dressing. Great recipe though!
-
Good; it actually makes a lot so we put the leftovers in the fridge and ate it cold the next day like chicken salad. We actually liked it better the second day cold.
-
Followed the recipe exactly and did not like it. My husband did not like it either. The blue cheese was too strong.
-
Made this for a house party and everyone thought it was awesome!! I did make some alterations. I rarely use whole chicken breasts so I “boiled” As the instructions say 4 average size boneless chicken breasts, used Marie’s LITE blue cheese dressing, lowfat cream cheese, and cabots 50% lite cheddar cheese which saved on fat and calories plus all the other ingredients.. It turned out great with these substitutions. I also used celery to dip with rather then tortilla chips.
-
This wasn’t that great. I think it would have been better if I just left out the ranch dressing and celery. My husband picked out the cooked bits of celery and it definitely needed more hot sauce…
-
I loved this- as did other party goers!! Used 3 boneless skinless- did not use ranch- only used blue cheese dressing ( bob’s blue cheese- homemade from this site) – served with corn chips and celery sticks.
-
awesome! everyone loves it!
-
Was kind of sticky and thick…will try mixing the cheeses in next time to see if that helps.
-
too oily
-
Amazing! Great for football parties, everyone loved it! I did make a few changes – I used all lite/reduced fat ingredients, 2 stalks of celery, 1/2 cup of hot sauce (could have used more!) and used Monterey Jack cheese instead of Cheddar. It was a huge hit and I will definitely be making this again!
-
I made it for my meetup food group and everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. The only change I made was to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
-
I’m not a big fan of celery in the buffalo chicken so I use it afterwards for dipping.
-
This is the best dip EVER! I would have eaten until I was sick if I didn’t have any sense. Even my wife said this was the best dip she’d ever had. The only changes I made was to use 4 chicken thighs instead of 2 breasts, doubled the hot sauce and layered the dip instead of mixing it all together.
-
Delicious. A true crowd pleaser.true it’s not the most attractive appetizer but who cares…..Yum!!
-
Party favorite!!
-
This recipe is amazing! The first time I made it I accidentally used tobasco sauce and that was a big mistake! The second time I used Frank’s Red Hot and it was perfect. I also used some Tyson’s Buffalo Chicken tenders microwaved and cut up small instead of using chicken breasts and that saved time and was delicious. The only other thing I did differently was I added some chopped onion when I was heating the chopped celery. I also cut up some celery and carrot sticks for dipping in addition to tortilla chips and that was a hit.
-
followed recipe exactly as written except i used rotisserie chicken instead of chicken breasts to speed up cooking time…. pretty good but kind of greasy. had to blot top with towels before serving to remove excess. overall flavor was good and would probably add more chicken next time.
-
AWESOME DIP!!! I will be making this on Super Bowl Sunday!! Thanks for a great recipe!!
-
Made this for the “guys” one nite…..needless to say, the “girls” almost ate the whole dish when I took it out of the oven….It was more wonderful than I ever thought it would be…..This is such a delicous version of Hot Wings…..This is definately a keeper for our UFC fight nites….thanks for sharing such a delicous recipe…. = )
-
OMG! This dip is just amazing! The only change I made was to use a 12.5 oz can of chunk white meat chicken in broth…… I actually had to print a copy for my mother, who wouldn’t eat canned chicken if her life depended on it (and neither would I before this recipe!). SO TASTY!!
-
I 3xd the recipe because I used a small rotiss. chick. It didn’t last long at all.
-
Great tasting dip for anyone who loves the buffalo wing flavor. Just the right level of spiciness and great cheese flavor. This is now a staple at any event at our house requiring chip/dip!
-
Very good, could make hotter
-
I have people request this at every party I do. No joke, this recipe has traveled from state to state. Some definite do’s from the other reviews: – Do use half blue cheese, half ranch for the amount of ranch. – Do layer it in the baking dish: the ranch/ blue cheese/ cream cheese on bottom; then the chicken (mixed already with the hot sauce); and then the cheese sprinkled on top. Kudos to this recipe-maker!!
-
Great recipe…..made it for our family superbowl party. Excellent!
-
Great stuff, we take a loaf of italian bread, slice it real thin, brush with olive oil, grill and spread the dip on, best sandwich ever! I like to use the ranch dip instead of the bottled. it has more flavor.
-
AMAZING! Cannot wait until next time!
-
Didn’t really care for the amount of blue cheese dressing in this dip. I felt it was overpowering.
-
4.5/5 – AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. This is good. I can’t fully give it the 5 stars, because it looks unappealing. Truly. But, put the looks aside and this is the bomb.
-
This could have been much better but in fairness I modified my dish according to some advice I read in the comments. I used 2 cans of chicken (12.5 oz each) and the ranch dip powdered packet with sour cream. It was way too salty for my taste. Next time, I’ll use less cream cheese, more chicken and more hot sauce. I’d probably skip the ranch dip and go for the dressing in moderation. I’ll be trying this again, either way!
-
I have made this twice now. The first time, as written (minus celery we don’t like it). The second time I used 1 c ranch and 1/2 c blue cheese (my kids were not fond of the blue cheese taste). It was WONDERFUL both ways in my opinion. Kids preferred less blue cheese. A definite keeper imho!!
-
Great recipe, was awesome with Fritos Scoops to use for dipping. I increased the hot sauce, it gave it a great kick. One thing about this recipe- once you bake it, the dip does come out with a greasy coating on the top. Unappealing and unhealthy. I blotted the grease off the top and then it was excellent.
-
I love the idea of this dip, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the texture. The flavour was good, but it needs to be creamier…..maybe some sour cream might help it out. I probably won’t make it again though. Try it – you might like it better than I did!
-
Really good – I will make it again with the following modifcations – I doubled the receipe and used 4 chicken breasts but it wasn’t enough it came out a little runny. next time I’m going to use 6 boneless chicken breasts and 4 stalks of celery – I used two and people didn’t know it was there. I used almost a cup of franks hot sauce and that was just about right. I’ll also keep the same amount of dressing but decrease the ranch and up the blue cheese. Everone loved it though adn it was even better after it cooled and sat for a bit. It was all gone!
-
For all you cheese lovers, I add a half cup co-jack cheese as well.
-
I made a healthy version of this recipe and it turned out great. I couldn’t stop eating it! =) I made the following changes: used 1 package of MorningStar Farms Chick’n Strips in place of the breast halves. I used no celery, and used fat-free cream cheese and fat-free cheddar cheese. I also used reduced fat ranch dressing (but regular blue cheese). All the same measurements that it called for. Would recommend serving with baked tostitos!
-
i even put this on a pizza crust
-
Amazing! One of my favorite dips!
-
I have made this before and my Husband loves it, I shred a Rotisserie Chicken in a baking dish, pour half a bottle of wing sauce over that, mix 8oz Ranch dressing with 4oz softened cream cheese pour that on top as third layer and then 8oz of mozzarella cheese for top layer. Bake in 350f oven until hot and bubbly.
-
Took this to a Christmas party and everyone raved about it. We had seen that people said it was not spicy enough so we added one small home grown hot pepper diced and cooked in with the celery. This made it perfect! Will absolutely make again
-
Great recipe, though I made a few changes that made it simpliar to make: 3 boneless chix breasts (or 3 cans, tho the real thing tastes better), boiled and shredded, mix with 1/2 – 1 cup of hot sauce. Then add 2 packages of softened cream cheese (do NOT use the fat free, it doesn’t mix well, you may use the 1/3 less fat) add 1 cup of GOOD blue cheese dressing; add 1- 3 celery stalks coarsely chopped. Mix well, taste and make sure it is spicy enough for you. Add cheddar cheese on top, bake 350 for 20-30 min. Serve with tortilla chips
-
This dip is AWESOME!!! I ate the entire thing in 3 days! Great for parties, EVERYONE will enjoy!
-
No thank you. Will not make again, as there is too much salad dressing taste.
-
Yum!! I dont like blue cheese and usually use ranch when eating wings…but I used both as the recipe stated and it didnt have too strong of a blue cheese-y flavor so I liked it. Only thing was that I couldnt figure out how long to sautee the celery because it never seemed to get “soft” and I actually couldnt even tell it was in the dip when I tasted it (no one else could either) so I think it could easily be left out and just use celery to dip in..or else have the pieces bigger if you want to actually taste it in the dip. Also, I used more hot sauce than it called for — about 3/4 cup and I noticed that it seemed to be really greasy/runny when I took it out of the oven and I think it was just all the extra sauce had settled on the top and I had to sop a lot out with a paper towel..not sure how to avoid that if you want more hot sauce. Everyone commented that it was pretty hot, but they still came back to keep eating more! I think it tastes good with crackers and celery, although the crackers seemed better since the dip was more on the runny side. I will definitely be making this again!
-
I made this for a party and everyone loved it! I made a few changes. I used a rotisserie chicken and green onions instead of celery because I didn’t have any. It was awesome! Will make again, a new favorite!
-
Made it for New Years and everyone loved it! I skipped the celery and made it extra spicy. I also used canned chicken (my first time), I shredded it and I have to say it was easier and tasted much better then when I actually boiled the chicken.
-
Pretty good, but not a favorite. Too many other recipes to try, I probably won’t make this again.
-
I grew up near Buffalo, so I know my Buffalo-style anythings. This was actually really, really good! I’m not sure I’d call it a “traditional” Buffalo flavor because of the added ranch and blue cheese in the dip itself, but it did add a nice touch. I loved the Franks Red Hot Sauce, but I doubled it to a whole cup and cut back the blue cheese to 1/4 cup. It was still REALLY good. 🙂
-
I just made this for the Superbowl party. It was gone before the opening kickoff. Everyone at the party gave it 5 stars.
-
Was a huge hit with my teenage daughter and her friends. Switched out the blue cheese and ranch dressing for caesar (Rene’s), also used mozzarella and cheddar as well. Served it with taco chips. Great party fare – wondering if it would work with crab?
-
Great recipe!! We love buffalo chicken wings and this is a perfect “munchie” for parties!!
-
I have made this many times & it has become one of our fave dishes! I don’t like it as well with the Blue Cheese dressing so I use all ranch, and often I will use ranch DIP instead of dressing, bc I like it less runny.
And I love how fast & easy it is! I made this for a football party, decided I wanted one w/o the blue cheese, made another batch & got it done before the guests arrived. People tried to bribe me for the leftovers. LOVE this! -
This dish is awesome and absolutely great wrapped in a burrito.
-
I made this over Christmas for a “chips and dips” party. It was really good, but I can’t explain why! We just ate it and ate it and ate it…
-
I made this for a family gathering and everyone loved it! Easy to make and completely addictive. I used wing sauce instead of hot sauce (because that’s what I had on hand) and used a bit more than was called for in the recipe. This is my new go-to for potlucks and sporting events!
-
I followed as described but turned out dripping with buttery fatty liquid. Probably because of all the cheese.
-
Yummy as is!
-
the whole family loved it!
-
This was the first time I made a dish for my boyfriend and family, so I was really nervous about the outcome. Everyone loved it! I brought carrot sticks, celery, and chips to dip, but everyone was just eating it by the spoonful! I used 2 boneless chicken breast, because that was all I had. And I doubled the blue cheese and skipped the ranch because I don’t like ranch. I did double the amount of RedHot which I guess was ok, I found it too spicy but my boyfriend said it wasn’t spicy enough. The entire family said it was the best buffalo chicken dip they ever had! Thanks for the recipe!
-
Unfortunately, I have a really different view of this recipe… I didn’t like it at all! The taste didn’t seem to blend together well. My husband loves blue cheese dressing and he didn’t like it either.
-
I rarely submit reviews, but I have made this many times and it always gets raves and requests for the recipe. I serve it with Scoops & it’s one if the first dishes at the potluck/party/football game to be gone! I do use a bit less hot sauce when kids are part of the party.
-
I’ve been making this recipe for a while now, and I’ve not seen a better one anywhere. I leave the celery out as I don’t like it, but this dish never lasts when I make it. It’s absolutely addictive and delicious.
-
This was absolutely amazing! I used canned chicken and 16oz sour cream and a ranch pkg. I also added a litter extra celery and didn’t cook it that much so it had a little crunch. It was gone in 10 minutes. I should have made two. I will be making this again for sure. Everyone loved it!!
-
Love it but….use twice as much ranch and half the blue cheese. (It makes it bitter) Don’t add celery, it’s not needed.
-
This is an awesome party dip. Great recipe!
-
PEEFECTION!
-
I followed this recipe almost exactly – the only thing I didn’t do was include the celery. What I got was a soupy mixture with greasy oil covering the top. I used three paper towels to soak it up, and there was still so much oil left over. The flavors also seemed odd to me – something didn’t quite click or blend together. I will give this recipe one more try, but I don’t have very high hopes.
-
I just made this for a football party we hosted. EVERYONE asked for the recipe!
My husband and I like to serve them with small buns! -
People always ask for the recipe.
-
I have looked for this recipe before and it has never been as good! I love this.
-
Yummy! Instead of boiling chicken breast. I used tyson grilled ready frozen fully cooked chicken breast strips. You can cook it on the stove, but I just microwaved the chicken for a few minutes. I didn’t use any celery and I did not use blue cheese (don’t like it) I used more ranch and added extra shredded cheese. It was a little runny prob because of the extra cheese, so the next time I make this I will use less cheese.
-
Hands down the best ever…even beat out my friend’s famous recipe!
-
I made this for Game Night with my friends and they LOVED it! It didn’t last very long at all. I would highly recommend!!
-
My family LOVED this dip… Next time I will mix the cheese into the dip. Once the dip started getting cold the cheese turned hard and was difficult to eat.
-
this dip is not to my liking. i should have known better based on the ingredients, but it was seriously such a mess. too much salad dressing, too much grease. Everyone moved on to rave about the Seven Layer Taco Dip. 🙂 Go giants!
-
Just took this out of the oven..Made as written except no blue cheese as we don’t like that..Hubby said it was different…Pretty good.
-
Followed others advice and used rotisserie chicken chopped, 1/2 pkg cream cheese, 2 T sour cream, 1/2 pkg ranch, some diced onions since that’s what I had in the pantry. I also didn’t realize we were out of Franks so I used some texas pete and melted butter into it.
Mixed cream cheese, sour cream and ranch mix together, added hot sauce to the chicken, then cream cheese mixture and onions, mixed everything together and then put into casserole dish lined in aluminum foil, topped w/shredded cheddar and cooked until bubbily. Served with Tostitos Scoops they were awesome!
-
OMG,absolutely wonderful dip!I added fresh garlic into the celery,changed nothing else.I will be making this recipe for years to come.
