wow, talk about just in the nick of time!  (nick of time? is that right?  it looks weird when typed...)   i just was checking in on one of the many photog's blogs i stalk, and kelly moore is having an awesome giveaway for favorite recipes.  so, without further adieu (adieu? that looks weird too...)  i present to you... the one and only...

BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP.

now this is more than just a buffalo chicken dip.  it is THE buffalo chicken dip.

ready?  set?

ingredients -

• 1 package cream cheese
• 1/2 cup KEN's buffalo wing sauce
• 1/2 cup ranch dressing
• 1 large can of canned chicken (in tuna section)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar/jack/italian)
• 1 bag tortilla chips

directions -

1. Place the package of cream cheese in a square 9x9 pan and place in oven before preheating.
2. Preheat oven to 350, allowing cream cheese to warm with oven.  (when oven reaches 350, remove pan so as not to burn the cc, but warm it enough to spread easily.)
3. In a separate bowl, drain and shred chicken with a fork
4. Add ranch dressing and buffalo sauce; mix well.
5. Spread cream cheese in the pan it's in to create the bottom layer of dip
6. Pour chicken  mixture to form middle layer of dip
7. Shred cheese, and sprinkle to create top layer of dip
8. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes
9. Serve with tortilla chips, and enjoy!

ok so i admit that this isn't necessarily the healthiest meal, but i love it for so many reasons...

1.  it is fast and easy.

2.  it is oh so tasty.

3.  it is complimented well by healthy foods.  (i usually serve it with a salad or a fruit & veggie tray)

4.  it is oh so tasty.

5.  it can work as an appetizer or meal

6.  it is oh so tasty.

and one last hint.... only and always use KEN's buffalo wing sauce.  all others do not suffice like ken's does.

enjoy!!!
