Description

This 5-ingredient Buffalo chicken dip with sour cream is baked in the oven with ranch dressing, hot sauce, and Cheddar cheese until hot and creamy.

Ingredients

2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 1/2 cups ranch dressing
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup hot sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chicken; cover and reduce heat to medium. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and shred when cool enough to handle.
2 Combine ranch dressing and sour cream in a saucepan over low heat. Stir and heat until warm, about 5 minutes. Stir in hot sauce and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, followed by shredded chicken.
3 Transfer mixture to an 8-inch round baking dish and top with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese. Place in the refrigerator to cool for 1 to 2 hours.
4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5 Remove dip from the refrigerator and bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
