Chef Tips
expert advice•For extra flavor, use rotisserie chicken or poach chicken breasts with a bay leaf for added depth.
•Adjust the heat level by using mild, medium, or extra hot buffalo sauce according to your preference.
•You can also add a drizzle of ranch dressing on top before serving for extra creaminess.
•For a smokier flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the mixture.
•If preparing ahead, assemble the dip without the cheese topping, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then add cheese and bake when ready to serve.
•This dip can also be made in a slow cooker: combine all ingredients except the cheese topping, cook on low for 2-3 hours, then add cheese and cook until melted.
•For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and use reduced-fat cream cheese.
