Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 5 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Sauce and Cheese Mix
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded fontina cheese
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 oz crumbled blue cheese or gorgonzola
Serving
- Black tortilla chips for dipping
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a skillet over medium heat and cook until fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and shred the chicken using two forks.
- Mix the Dip Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded fontina, shredded cheddar, and crumbled blue cheese. Stir until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
- Heat the Dip: Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish or skillet and heat over low-medium heat on the stovetop or bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 15-20 minutes, until bubbly and hot throughout.
- Serve: Once heated through, remove from heat and serve immediately with black tortilla chips for dipping. For extra effect, garnish with celery sticks or green onions.
Notes
- You can use cooked rotisserie chicken as a shortcut if desired.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to your preferred spice level.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- Black tortilla chips add a festive Halloween touch but regular tortilla chips also work well.
- To keep the dip warm for serving, use a slow cooker on the warm setting.
