Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup hot pepper sauce
  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken
  • 1 cup ranch-style salad dressing
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Beat Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Add Sauces and Chicken: Mix in the hot pepper sauce, ranch dressing, and diced cooked chicken thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Cheese: Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese to add a rich, cheesy flavor and texture to the dip.
  5. Prepare Baking Dish: Spread the mixture evenly in an ungreased baking dish to ensure even cooking and browning.
  6. Bake: Bake the dip uncovered for 20 minutes or until it is bubbly and has a lightly golden top, indicating it’s fully heated and ready.
  7. Cool Slightly: Remove from oven and let the dip cool for a few minutes to allow it to set and slightly thicken for easier serving.
  8. Serve: Serve the dip warm accompanied by celery sticks, chips, or keto-friendly crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken leftover from roast or rotisserie for added flavor and convenience.
  • Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to control the spice level.
  • For a thicker dip, consider chilling for 10 minutes after baking before serving.
  • Pair with keto crackers or fresh veggies for a low-carb option.
  • Can be kept warm in a slow cooker set on low for parties.
