There is something about football season that inspires me to start making all sorts of salty snacks. Appetizers fit any time of year but August through Super Bowl Sunday seem to be the most popular for all types of dips, canapes and snacks.
My future daughter-in-law, Shauna, introduced us to Buffalo Chicken Dip. It is so easy to make and, for anyone who loves Buffalo-style Chicken Wings, is bound to become a favorite.
Here’s the recipe:
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Serves 14-16
Ingredients
1 8 oz. pkg cream cheese- softened
1 large can (10 oz) chicken
Hot sauce
Blue cheese dressing (or ranch)
Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Tostitos “Scoops” or another brand of tortilla chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°
Spread: softened cream cheese in an oven-safe, microwavable* 1 quart baking dish.
Layer: chicken, hot sauce, blue cheese dressing, shredded cheese.
Bake: 350° oven for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
*Though you will be heating the dip in the oven, you may wish to “nuke it” (reheat it) later on so, use a baking dish that is microwave-safe.
