Buffalo Chicken Dip
Buffalo chicken wings turned into the easiest, creamiest, and cheesiest dip ever! And it’s even better with this fun Mexican twist!
It’s finally here! Yes, football season has officially begun. And you know you can’t start football season without celery sticks and the usual buffalo chicken dip.
But this isn’t your ordinary buffalo chicken dip. Yes, it still has all that extra creamy, cheesy goodness but it has a fun Mexican twist with a hidden layer of refried beans, making this dip just so much better than the original version. And with PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, you just can’t go wrong here.
From fresh local milk and real wholesome cream, going from farm to fridge in just six days, PHILADELPHIA is the only cream cheese to use to get that extra creaminess in an epic dip like this.
You can even take this dip a bit further and add in some fresh avocado slices. After all, avocado makes everything better, right?
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise in half
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup Frank’s® RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper, or more, to taste
- 1 16-ounce black bean refried beans
- 4 ounces PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

I don’t know what it is today about me and ‘buffalo wing’ type recipes…I was thumbing thru a new cookbook, came across a buffalo wing sauce pizza, on a blog there was a chicken casserole I saw with it, and now…this AMAZING looking dip! i want to eat the whole thing! I love wing sauce, just not wings…LOL
It’s that time of year where anything “buffalo” is so appealing!
