Broiled Buffalo Chicken Cheese Dip

Ingredients

- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original sauce
- Celery sticks, for serving
- Crusty bread, sliced and toasted, for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheese Base:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the finely chopped onion and diced celery; sauté for approximately 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

2. Thicken the Mixture:
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the saucepan, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring no lumps form, and cook until the mixture thickens, about 4-5 minutes.

3. Incorporate Cheeses:
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the softened cream cheese until fully melted and smooth. Add the shredded sharp white cheddar and continue stirring until the cheddar melts and integrates seamlessly.

4. Flavor the Dip:
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Frank’s RedHot Original sauce. Mix well to combine all flavors, then remove the pot from the heat.

5. Assemble the Dip:
Add the shredded chicken breast to the cheese mixture, stirring until the chicken is fully coated with the cheesy, spicy sauce.

6. Broiling:
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish. Broil on high for about 3-5 minutes in the oven, or until the top is bubbly and golden. Monitor closely to prevent burning.

7. Serve:
Serve hot with sliced and toasted crusty bread and crisp celery sticks on the side for dipping.
