Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce (check label for zero sugar)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, buffalo sauce, butter, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until completely smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and half of the cheddar cheese until everything is evenly coated in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and the blue cheese crumbles (if using) over the top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and lightly browned.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, reduce the heavy cream slightly or add an extra ounce of cream cheese.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce or add 2 tablespoons of sour cream to the sauce mixture.
- You can adapt this for a slow cooker by mixing all ingredients (except the top cheese layer), cooking on low for 3 hours, then topping with cheese and cooking on high for 15 minutes until bubbly.
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick preparation.
