Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (halal certified)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Fresh chives for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, minced garlic, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Fold in the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and chopped celery. Add blue cheese if using, and mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges and lightly golden brown on top.
  5. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chives and serve with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or pita bread.

Notes

Can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance; refrigerate covered and bake when ready. Adjust spiciness by using mild or hot buffalo sauce. For extra flavor, use chicken from other seasoned recipes mentioned.
