Bonnie's Buffalo Chicken Dip

[lteevan]

I just had to post a thank you for my family's new favorite recipe: Bonnie's Buffalo Chicken Dip. I made it for one of our family gatherings and it will now become a fmily staple. Everyone wanted the recipe, and they too have gotten rave reviews when they have made it. Especailly with the Super Bowl rigth around the corner, I highly recommend it for those who haven't tried it. To even make the recipe easier (not that it needs it), I usually just buy the rotisserie chicken in the supermarket and then shread it.

Here you go:

BONNIE'S BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, (about 2 pounds), boiled, drained & shredded with 2 forks (I love using my crockpot for this step; the meat easily shreds...you don't want chunks)

1 - 12 ounce bottle of Frank's Hot Sauce (try to get this brand only, Crystal is so-so but do NOT use Tabasco)
2 - 8 ounce packages cream cheese
1 - 16 ounce bottle of Ranch dressing
1/2 cup chopped celery
8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack or sharp Cheddar cheese or combo thereof

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 13x9x2 inch baking pan, combine the shredded chicken meat with entire bottle of Frank's hot sauce, spreading to form an even layer.In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream cheese with entire bottle of Ranch dressing, stirring til smooth & hot.Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken mixture to form a 2nd layer. Sprinkle celery
over top. 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. Let stand 10 minutes before serving hot/warm with celery sticks and/or any sturdy dipping chip like Tostito Golds.

I wanted to pull back up this thread. I know it was mentioned recently under other threads. My middle DD wanted me to say thanks for this recipe. We had it last night and was a big hit with everyone.
