Ingredients

Scale

Buffalo Chicken Dip

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing for a stronger flavor)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional)

Assembly

  • 8 small croissants (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Optional: extra buffalo sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Make the Buffalo Chicken Dip: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch or blue cheese dressing, buffalo sauce, and shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  2. Mix thoroughly: Blend everything together until fully combined. Use a hand mixer if preferred to ensure the cream cheese is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Adjust spice level: Add more buffalo sauce if you prefer a spicier dip.
  4. Add green onions: Stir in chopped green onions for added flavor, if using.
  5. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
  6. Slice croissants: Cut croissants horizontally like a sandwich to prepare for filling.
  7. Brush with butter: Lightly brush the cut sides of croissants with melted butter to enhance richness and promote crispness.
  8. Fill croissants: Spoon a generous amount of the buffalo chicken dip onto the bottom half of each croissant.
  9. Assemble sandwiches: Place the top half of each croissant over the filling to form sandwiches.
  10. Arrange on baking sheet: Place the assembled croissants on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.
  11. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until croissants are golden brown and the filling is warm and bubbly.
  12. Cool slightly: Remove from oven and let the sandwiches cool for a few minutes to set.
  13. Drizzle buffalo sauce: Optionally drizzle extra buffalo sauce over the tops for an extra kick.
  14. Serve: Serve warm, with additional ranch or blue cheese dressing and chopped green onions for dipping and garnish.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for an easy shortcut that adds flavorful, tender chicken to the dip.
  • Adjust buffalo sauce to your preferred heat level – more for spice lovers, less for milder taste.
  • Butter helps croissants crisp up beautifully in the oven, giving a nice golden finish.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute croissants with a gluten-free bread or roll option.
  • Leftover buffalo chicken dip can be stored and used as a dip with chips or celery sticks.
