Super Bowl 1.0 - Buffalo Chicken Dip

The Super Bowl usually means one thing to me - FOOD :) Well, there's also friends, adult beverages, and watching football, but since the Redskins never make it that far, I focus on the food. It's always my excuse to make some delish dips and snacks! I'll have multiple recipes posted to represent each food item, so stay tuned! This particular dip is simply amazing. It's super easy to make and everyone always devours it. You really just can't go wrong! Ingredients

1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast (I used the white meat from a plain rotisserie)

1 cup of ranch dressing ( Hidden Valley is the best)

1 cup of Frank's Original Red Hot (I wouldn't substitute Frank)

1 8 oz block of cream cheese

1 package of fancy shredded sharp cheddar cheese (2 cups)

Green onions (optional)

Celery stalks, or my favorite, fresh baked Jalapeno Cheddar bread

Directions

Pre heat your oven to 350 F. Cut the cold cream cheese into cubes and place them into an 11.5" x 8" x 2" Pyrex style baking dish lightly misted with buttered flavor Pam. Evenly sprinkle the fancy shredded cheese on top of the cream cheese cubes. Pour the 1 cup of ranch and the 1 cup of Franks Red Hot on top of the cheesy mixture and place the dish into the oven uncovered for 7 to 10 minutes. After the cheesy mixture is done baking and mixed together well you may now add the chicken, simply pour the chicken on top of the mixture, carefully stir the mixture well and cover with aluminum foil and bake an additional 20 to 30 minutes. Add more Ranch here if the dip is too spicy. Once baked you can carefully pour into your serving bowl, garnish with green onion and serve with your favorite dipping device. ENJOY!
