Step 1: Cook your chicken. I was feeling lazy so I threw frozen chicken in the crock pot with a liner. So easy.

Step 2: Preheat your oven to 350 and shred chicken. If you have a stand mixer, throw it in there (still warm/hot), mix on 4-6 with paddle for 20-30 seconds. If not. small chicken cubes are okay if you don't want to shred the chicken.

Step 3: If using Ranch mix, combine dressing mix with water, let stand 5 minutes. Add buttermilk and mayo, mix until smooth. Add Ranch, Franks, and cream cheese to chicken and mix well.

Step 4: Spread dip in shallow dish and top with cheese. Bake for 30 minutes at 350.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

1 1/2 tsp ranch dressing mix (if you dont have any on hand, you can use about 1/3 cup regular ranch and omit water, buttermilk, and mayo)

1 1/2 tsp water

 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken (or 2 cans of chicken breast in water, drained)

2 8 ounce pgks cream cheese, room temperature (or low fat cream cheese)

1/2 cup Frank's Hot Sauce (more or less, if desired)

1 cup cheddar cheese (or monterey jack)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350. In a mixing bowl, combine the dressing mix with the water. Let stand 5 minutes. Add the buttermilk and mayo and mix until smooth. Add the cream cheese, Franks, and chicken, mix well. Put the mixture in a shallow baking dish, I find a pie dish is the perfect size, but any 8x8ish pan will do. Top with cheese and bake for 30 minutes. Serve with tortilla or corn chips.

"Serves 24 as an appetizer" <-- That's a lie. Don't believe it.
