Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce (preferably Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take cream cheese out to soften.
  2. Make the wonton chips: Stack wonton wrappers and cut diagonally into triangles. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Lay triangles in a single layer on the baking sheet, brush with oil mixture, and bake for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  3. While chips bake, make the dip: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and half of the cheddar and mozzarella. Stir until combined.
  4. Transfer mixture to a 9×9-inch baking dish or 8-inch cast-iron skillet and spread evenly. Top with remaining cheddar and mozzarella.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. For a deeper golden top, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with sliced green onions.
  7. Serve immediately with crispy wonton chips.

Notes

Let the dip rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow flavors to meld. If the dip looks oily, give it a quick stir before serving. Wonton chips can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container; re-crisp in a 300°F oven for 3 minutes if needed.
