Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip

Smokey, creamy, with just the right amount of spice. Buffalo chicken dip is low carb and I can't get over how easy it is to make.

Buffalo chicken dip is a must have for every occasion.  I make this dip for parties, get togethers and anytime I want a quick appetizer. The best part is you can put all of the ingredients into 1 cast iron pan and pop it into your oven to warm everything up. That's my kind of meal.

Making the buffalo chicken dip. 

For this recipe you can use canned chicken, rotisserie or grilled. I like to use chicken thighs. I season and grill them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and then chop them up.

The flavor you get from the grill takes the dip to another level but if you are in a hurry or don't have a grill I think a great option is rotisserie chicken like in my Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip.

After the chicken is prepped, place all of the ingredients into a medium cast iron pan.

Add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, shredded cheese and chopped chicken right into the pan and mix together until well combined.

Don't forget to save a little bit of the shredded cheese and sprinkle on top of the dip to form a crust. Then place the cast iron pan into your smoker or oven at 350°F for 20-30 minutes.

The dip should be warm and the cheese melted all the way through. 

To finish, crumble up crispy bacon and sprinkle that on top along with sliced green onions for a pop of color. Serve with crackers, celery, pretzels or tortilla chips. This dip is a classic and one you'll make over and over again!
