2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
½ cup ranch dressing
½ cup buffalo sauce
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1–2 Tbsp Kosmos Q Buffalo Wing Dust, plus more for finishing
2 green onions, sliced
Tortilla chips, for serving
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F.
Make sure your chicken is already cooked and shredded before getting started. If you're using leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken, that's a great way to save some time.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded chicken with 8 ounces of softened cream cheese.
Add ½ cup of ranch dressing, ½ cup of buffalo sauce, and 1–2 tablespoons of Kosmos Q Buffalo Wing Dust.
Mix everything together until the chicken is evenly coated and the cream cheese is incorporated throughout.
Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and ½ cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Give everything another good mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
You should have a creamy, cheesy chicken mixture with plenty of buffalo flavor throughout.
Transfer the buffalo chicken mixture into a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe baking dish.
Spread it out evenly, making sure the mixture reaches all the edges of the skillet.
Top with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Finish with another light sprinkle of Kosmos Q Buffalo Wing Dust over the top for an extra boost of flavor.
Place the skillet into your preheated 350°F oven.
Bake for 30–40 minutes, until the dip is heated all the way through, the cheese is completely melted, and the edges are hot and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the top during the last few minutes. You want that cheese melted and delicious without letting it get too dark.
Once the dip is hot, bubbly, and ready to go, carefully remove the skillet from the oven.
Let it rest for a couple of minutes so everything settles slightly.
Sprinkle 2 sliced green onions over the top for a little freshness and color.
Finish with one more light shake of Kosmos Q Buffalo Wing Dust.
That final sprinkle brings the buffalo flavor right to the surface and makes this dip look just as good as it tastes.
Serve the Buffalo Chicken Dip warm, right in the cast-iron skillet or baking dish.
Set out plenty of tortilla chips for scooping and let everyone dig in.
Make sure to get a little bit of everything in each bite: shredded chicken, creamy ranch and buffalo sauce, melted cheddar, and Monterey Jack.
This dip is best served warm while the cheese is still melted and creamy.
Tender shredded chicken, creamy cheese, bold buffalo sauce, and the perfect kick from Kosmos Q Buffalo Wing Dust.
