Print Recipe

A creamy, spicy buffalo chicken dip baked inside a crusty bread bowl, perfect for parties and game nights. This easy recipe combines bold flavors with a satisfying texture that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 large round loaf of crusty bread (sourdough or Italian bread)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a serrated knife, cut a circle on top of the loaf about 2 inches from the edge. Carefully remove the top and hollow out the inside, leaving about a 1-inch thick wall all around. Save the scooped bread for toasting.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch dressing with a hand mixer or spoon until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
  5. Fold in ½ cup of cheddar and ¼ cup of mozzarella cheese, reserving the rest for topping.
  6. Fill the hollowed bread bowl with the buffalo chicken dip and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella evenly on top.
  8. Place the stuffed bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve immediately with the bread “lid” torn into chunks and toasted bread pieces for dipping.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing. Shred chicken finely for consistent texture. Avoid overloading with buffalo sauce to prevent runny dip. Choose a crusty round loaf to avoid sogginess. Toast scooped bread pieces for crunchy dippers. You can prep the dip and bread bowl a day ahead and bake just before serving.
