Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds boneless chicken breast
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 12 ounces bottle hot sauce
Supporting Ingredients:
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 jars Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing
Instructions
- Submerge 2 pounds of boneless chicken breasts in water and boil for exactly 20 minutes until fully cooked through. Remove chicken and drain completely.
- Shred the boiled chicken using two forks, creating thin, even strands.
- Pour entire 12 oz. bottle of Frank’s hot sauce over shredded chicken and mix thoroughly until chicken is completely coated.
- Let chicken marinate in hot sauce for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor absorption.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F, ensuring rack is centered.
- In a mixing bowl, blend 2 jars of Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing with 8 oz. cream cheese until smooth.
- Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the creamy mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into a 13 x 9 inch baking dish or two 8 x 8 inch pans.
- Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese evenly across the top of the dip.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes until cheese is melted and surface appears golden and bubbly.
Notes
- Chicken breasts can be replaced with rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat cream cheese and dressing with low-fat alternatives.
- Marinating the chicken in hot sauce overnight intensifies the tangy buffalo taste and keeps the meat tender.
- Serve this dip with crisp celery sticks, tortilla chips, or warm crusty bread for different textures and serving options.
