Buffalo Chicken Dip
(from nickel1275’s recipe box)
Stumbled across this on the Fuge. Made it several times and its always a HUGE hit. I had to memorize the recipe because someone always asks for it after they try it.
I like to leave the veggies out and just use crackers and celery sticks on the side as the “dipping” apperatus.
Be warned, this dish is “mild” when hot. But the spiciness kicks up when it gets to room temperature.

Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, (about 2 pounds)
- 1 - 12 ounce bottle of Frank's Hot Sauce (try to get this brand only, do NOT use Tabasco)

- 8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack or sharp Cheddar cheese or combo thereof
Directions
-
Boil, drained & shredded chicken with 2 forks

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 13×9×2 inch baking pan, combine the shredded chicken meat with entire bottle of Frank’s hot sauce, spreading to form an even layer.

Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, then sprinkle cheese over top and bake uncovered for another 15 or 20 minutes til hot & bubbly; you don’t want the top to get browned or it will be hard.
