Crowd-Pleaser Buffalo Chicken Dip
"Got this from the gym that I belong too - don't know why - it's not exactly low-fat, but it's absolutely delicious. The first day I got it, I halved the recipe and DH and I ate the entire thing!"

I've made this a couple of times & forgot to submit my 2 cents worth. The only comment that I can add to the other reviews is that this dip freezes well. Thanx for posting! -
Sorry I haven't reviewed before now. I've been making this every other weekend since football season started, at the request of my men. We all love it! The first time I made it exactly as written, and it's very good. Since then, I've adjusted it for personal preference and ease. I omit the celery (hate it) and instead of heating up the chicken with the sauce, I mix canned shredded chicken meat with the sauce and let it chill for an hour in the fridge, mix with the other ingredients, and bake as directed. -
Wow this was fabulous! I made an 8X8 pan for a small party, and there was just enough left over for 2 people to enjoy the next night. WOW! I think next time I'd put more hot sauce, more celery {love the crunch!}, and make a bigger pan. This was even better the next day warmed up on pieces of french bread!

This wasn't eaten so much as it was INHALED. I omitted the celery and used blue cheese dressing (the refridgerated kind) instead of the ranch dressing. Definitely a new favorite-- can't wait to have a reason to make it again! -
This was great. I used blue cheese dressing instead of ranch and it was better than I think the ranch would have been, but I have an unnatural love for blue cheese. I think I would have even liked some blue cheese crumbles inside. This will sure to be a regular at my parties or even just because.

Since I did not want this recipe to be too spicy, I subbed Sweet Baby Ray's wing sauce for the hot sauce. Great keeper recipe which I will make again!! -
I made this last night for a ladies club meeting and it was a hit! I made a few changes though...instead of hot sauce I used a dry Buffalo Wing mix and added a 1/2 cup of water with it to go with the chicken. I don't like hot but I do love flavor and this added just the right amount of spice for me. I also did not use the celery, don't care for it. I also used an entire 8 oz bottle of ranch dressing and threw a little shredded cheese with the cream cheese/dressing mixture plus more on the top. WOnderful. Will definitely make this again. The ladies at my meeting loved it! I even had to give the recipe out.

I would give it 5 stars but I changed the recipe so much. I use one chicken breast(diced),Instead of ranch dressing I used cour cream and added 2 tbsp of butter in step 4 and no celery. This is delicious!!!

I'm a high school music teacher, turned elementary music teacher, who is also a mom. My evenings are busy -- I teach piano and voice lessons one evening a week, direct the youth choir at our church on another night, and sing with a professional chamber choir here in Pittsburgh on yet another night, so I'm always looking for quick-fix meals. I love to bake too, much to the delight of my daughters, but not my husband, who loves sweets, but is very health-conscious! It would be great to have a week of free time to make all the delicious recipes I find here on 'Zaar. Not sure who I'd find to help me eat them, but I'd do it anyway!
