My friend Merry, makes a Buffalo Chicken dip that I really love. But I’m not really in love with blue cheese. I’ve tried different things to replace it but nothing was working like I wanted. One day I came across a post by Julie from Dinner with Julie about making a dip for hot wings out of Bousin cheese and I had the answer. It worked perfectly and is now my new favorite thing to make for a potluck.
Frank's Buffalo Chicken Dip - no blue cheese
Ingredients
- 8 oz brick cream cheese
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (I like using leftover rotisserie chicken)
- ½ cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce (I used Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce (not hot sauce))
- 2-4 Tbsp butter, melted (more butter will tone down the heat)
- 1 package boursin cheese
- ¼ to ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Mix melted butter and hot sauce. Combine with chicken.
- Layer in a shallow oven proof dish - first cream cheese, then chicken mixture, then boursin and top with a light layer of mozzerella.
- Bake for until mozzerella is melted - about 20 minutes.
- Great served with tortilla chips, or you can use it as a veggie dip for carrots or celery. It's also super good on a bed of lettuce.
I love chicken. i will definitely try a new one. thanks for the recipe. i will go look around a bit. have a Happy Thanksgiving!
