Shuffle Off to Buffalo

Problem: Buffalo Wings - a staple at Super Bowl parties, but what a sticky mess.

Solution: Buffalo Chicken Dip!

All the great flavors, none of the mess. This recipe is courtesy of our friend Corey's dad, who made it for Montana's baby shower a couple of years ago. I've made it with both Blue Cheese and Ranch dressing, and both are good. This is the kind of dish that you find yourself going back to again and again.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

4-Boneless skinless chicken breast halves, poached and shredded

1-12oz bottle hot sauce (I prefer Franks)

2-8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened

1-16oz bottle Ranch dressing (Blue Cheese works too)

1-Cup chopped celery

1-8oz package of grated Monterey Jack cheese

· Preheat oven to 350F

· Combine shredded chicken with hot sauce in a mixing bowl and then layer into the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish

· In a saucepan combine the cream cheese and dressing. Over medium heat stir until cheese has melted and mixture is smooth

· Pour mixture evenly over chicken, top with chopped celery and grated cheese

· Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until bubbly. Watch to make sure top does not brown

· Serve hot, or warm, with Doritos Scoops or celery sticks
