Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn
  • 3/4-1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded pepper or colby jack cheese
  • hard pretzel twists for serving

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400° F. This step is crucial for getting that bubbly, golden top on your dip. While it heats, you can prepare your baking dish. Butter a 10-inch skillet or baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. In a spacious bowl, combine the cream cheese, chicken, corn, buffalo sauce, cilantro, and green onions. Mix until everything is well incorporated. The cream cheese should be softened to ensure a smooth blend. You can use a fork or a hand mixer for ease!
  3. If you're adding blue cheese, this is the time to mix it in along with the ranch dressing. Don’t forget to season with fresh black pepper. The combination of flavors will be outstanding, and you’ll want to taste it to adjust the seasoning!
  4. Spoon the dip mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly, making sure it reaches the edges. This ensures that every bite is packed with flavor!
  5. Top your dip with the remaining shredded cheddar and pepper or colby jack cheese. This cheesy topping will melt beautifully in the oven.
  6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it! You’ll know it’s done when the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. The aroma will be irresistible!
  7. Once baked, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This will help set the dip, making it easier to serve.
  8. Top with any remaining fresh herbs if desired. This adds a pop of freshness and color, enhancing the presentation.
  9. Serve your Buffalo Chicken Corn Dip warm with hard pretzel twists or chips for dipping. Trust me, it’s going to be a hit!
