This is my forever favorite party snack. I’ve made it twice in the last month for all the playoff games and the second time, I had to double it because it just goes that quickly.
It is the easiest, 5 ingredient recipe and I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t like it. It’s full of chicken and cheese and lots of spice! It’s also easily adjustable if your family doesn’t love a lot of spice.
If you want to make it in the instant pot, try my Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip!
