Tips for Making This Recipe
Use rotisserie chicken. This is one of my favorite shortcuts for making quick, protein-packed recipes. It saves time and makes meal prep easier.
Adjust the buffalo sauce. Prefer a little less heat? Start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste.
Make it ahead. Divide the mixture into two oven-safe containers, cover, and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Make sure the center is heated through before serving.
Switch up the cheese. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend are all delicious options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this buffalo chicken dip in the microwave?
Yes! You can microwave an individual serving for 60–90 seconds or until hot throughout. Microwave times will vary depending on your microwave and the temperature of the dip.

Absolutely! Use softened regular cream cheese in place of the whipped cream cheese. It will give the dip a similar creamy texture.
