A creamy, spicy buffalo chicken dip baked inside a crusty sourdough bread bowl, perfect for summer parties and easy entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large sourdough bread loaf (about 10 inches diameter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a serrated knife, cut a circle around the top of the sourdough loaf about 1 inch from the edge. Remove the top and set aside.
  3. Scoop out most of the bread inside, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell to hold the dip. Save the removed bread for dipping or croutons.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Stir until well combined and creamy. If too stiff, add a splash of milk or extra ranch dressing.
  6. Spoon the buffalo chicken dip into the hollowed-out sourdough bowl, pressing down gently to fill all gaps and create an even top.
  7. Place the filled bread bowl on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the dip is bubbly and golden on top and the bread crust is crisp.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm with the bread lid cut into chunks, extra bread pieces, or fresh veggie sticks.

Notes

Keep an eye on the bread during baking; tent with foil if browning too fast. For extra cheesy crust, add more shredded cheese on top before baking. Prepare dip a day ahead and refrigerate for convenience. Use rotisserie chicken for juicy, flavorful meat. Save scooped bread for toasting as crunchy dippers.
