Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (about 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts)

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mayonnaise

3/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce (adjust according to your heat preference)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, for a tangy flavor boost)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Tortilla chips, pita chips, or crunch veggie sticks for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot and ready when you’re prepared to bake the dip.

    Mix the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Using an electric mixer or whisk, blend these ingredients together until your mixture is smooth and creamy, which should only take a couple of minutes.

      Add the Flavor: Incorporate the Buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the creamy base. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined and well-seasoned.

        Incorporate the Chicken: Gently fold in the shredded chicken along with half of the shredded cheddar cheese and the crumbled blue cheese (if using). Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in the cheesy mixture for maximum flavor.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the creamy chicken mixture into a medium-sized baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom with a spatula.

            Top it Off: Evenly sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the dip, creating a delicious cheesy layer that will melt beautifully in the oven.

              Bake: Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The dip is ready when it’s hot and bubbly, and the top is melted and slightly golden.

                Garnish: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped green onions to add a touch of color and freshness.

                  Serve: Enjoy your dip warm! Serve it alongside crunchy tortilla chips, pita chips, or an assortment of veggie sticks for a delicious dipping experience. Delight in the spicy, cheesy goodness!
