Ingredients
  

  • 5 boneless skinless chicken thighs (cooked and shredded)
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup shredded Fontina cheese
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1 oz crumbled blue cheese or gorgonzola
  • Black tortilla chips for serving

  • Spatula or spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and buffalo sauce. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add the chicken: Fold in shredded chicken, Fontina, cheddar, and half the blue cheese crumbles. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Transfer to a baking dish or skillet: Spread the mixture evenly.
  5. Top and bake: Sprinkle the rest of the blue cheese on top. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the top is slightly golden.

  7. Serve warm: Pair with black tortilla chips, carrot sticks, celery, or toasted baguette pieces.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt.
  • You can make it spicier or milder by adjusting the buffalo sauce amount.
  • Serve warm for the ultimate cheesy texture.
  • Add a few blue cheese crumbles on top for extra flavor pop.
