Print Recipe

A festive and flavorful buffalo chicken dip arranged to look like a football field, combining spicy chicken with creamy ranch and melted mozzarella for an easy game day appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • Ranch dipping sauce for serving
  • Celery and carrots, cut into sticks
  • Assorted crackers and chips

Instructions

  1. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and a pinch of salt; cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add chicken breasts to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes, then shred into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, ranch seasoning, and half of the mozzarella. Mix until smooth.
  5. Fold in the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the chicken mixture onto an oven-safe serving dish or board, shaping it into an oval football.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with extra ranch dressing if desired.
  10. Serve immediately with celery, carrots, crackers, and chips.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Do not overcook chicken to keep it moist. If using a wooden board, ensure it is heat-resistant or use a liner. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
