Getting ready for the big game this Sunday, Superbowl 2013 party planners are searching the internet for great party snack ideas. Top on the list this year are some of the best Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipes for Superbowl 2013.
While there are a number of variations among the top buffalo chicken dip recipes found online, the essential ingredients are all very similar. From our internet searches we have compiled the basic ingredients and cooking directions for what is sure to be a crown pleasing superbowl party snack.
The Best Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe ingredients include:
– About 20 ounces of cooked, shredded chicken
– 16 ounces softened cream cheese
– 1 cup of Ranch or Blue cheese dressing
– 3/4 cup Hot pepper / Buffalo sauce
– 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
– Celery and/or chips to serve with the dip
The cooking instructions vary among the buffalo chicken dip recipes online. Some call for baking the mixed ingredients like a casserole, while others say to cook the dip in a sauce pan and serve in a bowl. Either way the basics are again similar.
First cut the chicken breasts into small pieces and cook it in a skillet with enough of the hot sauce for flavor. Once cooked, shred the chicken in a food processor and then return it to a sauce pan to heat with the remainder of the hot sauce. While heating, blend in the cream cheese and ranch/blue cheese dressing until warm. Next blend in about ½ of the shredded cheese.
At this point you could transfer the dip into a casserole dish, top with the remaining cheese and heat until melted and serve warm. Another option is to put the mix into a crock pot and serve with cheese on the side, or mixed in. Either way, the dip should be a favorite for your party crowd.
