Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 80 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Whole bone-in chicken breast halves
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) olive oil
• 1 Stalk celery, minced
• 8 Ounces (oz) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 Cups blue cheese dressing
• 0.75 Cups ranch dressing
• 0.33 Cups hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
• 1 Cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps

1. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C). Drain the water and let the chicken cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones and skin, then shred the chicken and set aside.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Prepare the Dip Base: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced celery and cook until soft. Stir in the cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, and ranch dressing. Cook and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken and hot sauce to the skillet, stirring until well combined. Transfer the mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish and sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
5. Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the dip is golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with chips, carrots, or celery sticks for dipping.
