Instructions
shredded chicken;

buffalo chicken dip;
- While chicken is cooking, into a measuring cup, measure out 1 cup franks hot sauce. Then add 1 Tbsp of garlic powder, and cut 6oz of cream cheese into cubes and add that
- Turn off the heat and remove the chicken from the pan. Using two forks, shred. For thinner chicken shred with the grain, raking through with a fork. If you prefer chunkier chicken, consider cutting into cubes with a knife.
- Using the same pan that has the brown bits from the chicken, turn the heat to medium low. Add in 2 Tbsp butter and stir as it melts, scraping up the brown bits from the pan.
- Add in the measured hot sauce and cream cheese, stirring as it melts. Add in the shredded chicken and mix until evenly combined and cheese is melted.
- Once homogenous remove from the heat. Stir in sour cream and 1 cup cheddar cheese and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted.
- Transfer to a heat-safe dish and crumble remaining butter over the top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Optional, drizzle extra hot sauce over the top.
- Set the broiler to high, and broil for 1-2 minutes or until bubbly and charred. Remove and serve hot! Serve with celery, carrots, and sliced bell peppers or go with the carbs and lay out chips and crackers.
