  • 25 mins

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup Ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup Frank's Cayenne Pepper Sauce or Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about half of a small lemon)
  • 2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded: (I use half of a store bought roasted chicken)
  • 1/2 cup strong cheddar cheese, grated

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the cream cheese, ranch dressing, sour cream, hot sauce, celery salt and lemon juice in a medium bowl and mix well.
Fold in the chicken and about two thirds of the grated cheese.
Transfer mixture to baking dish. I used a small oval dish measuring approx 9 inches in length and 6 inches in width.
Scatter the remaining grated cheese over the top.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until mixture is piping hot and bubbling around the sides.
I sometimes put the dip under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes at the very end until the cheese is golden brown. It can burn quickly though, so keep an eye on it!
Serve with tortilla chips, crackers and celery sticks.
