Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie recommended)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
- 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6–8 small round bread rolls (about 4–5 inches wide, sourdough or Italian style)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Extra chopped green onions (for garnish)
- Crumbled blue cheese (optional, for garnish)
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the tops off each bread roll and gently hollow out the center, leaving about 1/2-inch thick walls and base. Save the tops for dipping.
- Melt 2 tbsp butter and brush the inside of each bread bowl.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, cheddar, mozzarella, and green onions. Mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff each bread bowl with the buffalo chicken dip, filling to just below the rim.
- Place stuffed bread bowls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until tops are golden and filling is bubbly.
- Remove from oven and garnish with extra green onions, parsley, or crumbled blue cheese. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, arranged on a platter with bread tops or chips for dipping.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing. Don’t overfill bread bowls to avoid overflow. Slightly stale rolls work best for crispiness. Taste the dip before baking and adjust seasoning. For gluten-free, use GF rolls or baked potatoes. Filling firms up as it cools. Bread bowls can be prepped ahead and baked just before serving.
