BBQ Chicken Dip
Move over buffalo chicken dip—this BBQ chicken dip is smoky, creamy, and loaded with bold backyard flavor that’s perfect for game day. Grilled BBQ chicken gets folded into a cheesy, ranch-seasoned base and cooked until hot, bubbly, and irresistible.
Ingredients
CHICKEN
- 2 chicken breasts
- BBQ rub of choice
DIP
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup red onion, diced
- 1 cup corn, drained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 ranch seasoning packet
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup milk, optional
GARNISH
- BBQ sauce
- Ranch dressing
- Green onions
Instructions
- Light a grill with Kingsford briquettes and bring it to high heat, setting up a hot direct cooking zone.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with BBQ rub, then grill over high heat until cooked through and nicely charred, about 6–8 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the grill, rest for a few minutes, then shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, red onion, corn, sour cream, ranch seasoning, BBQ sauce, and milk if using to a cast iron skillet or foil pan, then mix until well combined.
- Place the pan back on the grill at 350°F and cook, stirring every 15 minutes, until the cheeses are melted and the dip is hot and bubbly, about 30–40 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and garnish with drizzles of ranch and BBQ sauce and a sprinkle of green onions before serving warm.
