Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 serving

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large loaf French bread
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 to 3/4 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's Original
1 packet dry ranch dressing seasoning mix
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (up to 1/2 cup if you LOVE blue cheese), plus more to garnish, optional (only if you love it)
1 cup freshly grated sharp Cheddar cheese, separated
1 cup mozzarella cheese, separated
4 cups packed shredded cooked chicken (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Slice about 2 inches deep through the top of the bread and continue to cut a large rectangle, being careful not to cut through the bottom of the bread. Remove top of bread and hollow out middle to create a rectangular bread bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk together cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, hot sauce, ranch seasoning, salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder in a bowl until well combined. Stir in blue cheese, 3/4 cup Cheddar and 3/4 cup mozzarella, followed by chicken.
  • Spoon Buffalo chicken dip into prepared French bread and top with remaining Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Bake on a baking tray for 35 to 45 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown. Let bread sit approximately 10 minutes to set and slightly cool, then slice. Best served warm. Garnish with blue cheese if desired.

This was a delicious and easy recipe to make. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the buffalo sauce was the perfect amount of spicy. The French bread was a great addition and made the dish even more satisfying.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the buffalo sauce had a nice kick. The French bread was a bit dry, but it was still good. I would definitely make this again.

I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5. The chicken was a bit dry, but the buffalo sauce was delicious. The French bread was a bit too soft for my taste.
