Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 small round bread rolls or 3 small sourdough boules (about 4–5 inches wide each)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: extra shredded cheddar or mozzarella, more sliced green onions, chopped fresh parsley, drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Using a serrated knife, slice the tops off each bread roll (about 1/2 inch thick). Carefully hollow out the centers, leaving about a 1/2-inch border. Save the tops for dipping.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream. Beat until smooth. Stir in buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Add shredded chicken, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, crumbled blue cheese (if using), and sliced green onions. Mix until evenly combined.
  5. Spoon the buffalo chicken dip mixture into the prepared bread bowls, pressing down lightly to fill. Sprinkle tops with extra cheddar and mozzarella if desired.
  6. Arrange filled bread bowls on the baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbling and bread edges are golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with more green onions, parsley, and a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired. Serve warm with bread tops or veggies for dipping.

Notes

For best results, use sturdy bread rolls to prevent leaks. Toast hollowed bread bowls for 5 minutes before filling if your bread is very soft. Taste the dip before filling and adjust spice as needed. The dip can be made a day ahead and stuffed just before baking. For gluten-free, use GF rolls or hollowed bell peppers. For vegetarian, substitute chicken with chickpeas or cauliflower.
