Superbowl Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Dip

Hi everyone!  Remember when I said I'm not really into football, and I'm only watching the Superbowl for the commercials and the halftime show?  Well, I forgot to mention that I'm also looking forward to the food!

My friend, Sarah, sent me this recipe and I decided to try it out for the Superbowl party I'm going to.

Not the most healthy recipe, but certainly a good one!

Buffalo Chicken Dip
 
3 or 4 Chicken breasts
2 blocks of 8oz cream cheese
16 oz Ranch dressing (1 large bottle)
12 oz Franks Red Hot Original (buffalo) sauce (1 bottle)
1 pkg. shredded cheddar cheese (we used some mozzarella cheese too)
 
Boil chicken breasts and let cool
Once cooled, shred chicken into very fine strings.  This can be done using two forks and pulling apart the chicken.
Mix shredded chicken with 12oz (1 bottle) of Franks Red Hot Sauce
In a medium pan, heat ranch dressing and cream cheese until melted
Mix the chicken mixture with the dressing/cheese mixture
Pour into casserole dish
Cook at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until hot through, then spread cheddar cheese on top 
Cook for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted
Let cool (a little) before serving
 





 Serve with tortilla chips or crackers and celery.

Go Pat's!
