A crowd-pleasing buffalo chicken dip baked inside a crispy bread bowl, combining bold flavors and fun textures for a perfect game-day snack or casual hangout treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Cooked chicken breast (shredded or finely chopped; rotisserie chicken works great for convenience)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • ¼ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 medium-sized round sourdough bread loaf (about 8 inches diameter)
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon garlic powder or smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a serrated knife, carefully cut a circle around the top of your sourdough loaf, about 2 inches from the edge. Remove the top and hollow out the inside, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell all around. Save the removed bread for dipping later.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and optional garlic powder or smoked paprika. Stir until smooth and evenly combined.
  4. Spoon the buffalo chicken dip mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, packing it gently but leaving a bit of room at the top for cheese to melt and bubble.
  5. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use a sturdy bread bowl like sourdough to avoid sogginess. Soften cream cheese before mixing for a smoother dip. Hollow the bread leaving about 1 inch thickness to prevent leaks. Adjust spice level by varying buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. Serve warm and enjoy with bread chunks or crunchy veggie sticks. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
