Warm Buffalo Chicken Dip

Creamy, spicy and simple to make, this warm buffalo chicken dip is what dreams are made of! Perfect party dip or appetizer.

I finally feel like my kitchen is unpacked. Still not used to having everything in it’s new place, but it’s enough to justify cooking again! I really like ordering out because there are so many delicious options here, but it certainly feels so good to be back in the kitchen, developing recipes! I can’t always do it as frequently as I’d like because KIDS and LIFE, but when I do get around to it, I love it. Normally, it’s an idea, photo or craving that sparks an idea and that is exactly what happened with this recipe!

I had purchased hot sauce months ago and had never opened the bottle, so as I was unpacking my pantry, I found it. Let me tell you, it’s a rare occasion for me to have Frank’s Red Hot on hand because we are weak people when it comes to spicyness. It’s pathetic how little heat we can handle, but when it comes to a dip like this, we can handle a little more heat than normal because of the flavors, the dairy incorporated and the chicken. Hot sauce on its own is brutal; we like mild everything. But hot sauce mixed with other ingredients, especially cream cheese, has a tendency to not rage it’s ugly head on our tastebuds as severely. 

I made this quick and simple Buffalo Chicken Dip in a cast iron skillet with precooked, shredded chicken, onion, butter, garlic, three kinds of cheeses and some chicken broth. Easy to throw together and can be eaten right out of the pan, kept warm, or baked in a dish for a party, this will be the most popular appetizer you serve. I had tortilla chips, sweet potato chips, celery and carrot sticks to serve along side, but anything with a crunch and neutral flavor would work well too.
