It’s true that for the last several years of marriage, our super bowl celebration has been somewhat simple and cheap. We love simple and cheap! We always have so much food left over, but this year we decided on just a simple dip. While search what to make, we found a random food video, tweaked it a little, and made it our own. It just became a simple layered buffalo chicken dip.
Ingredients

- 2 large chicken breasts (shredded) or 2 cups shredded rotisserie.

- 1 cup Guacamole.
- 1 cup Sour Cream.
- 5 oz. Blue Cheese crumbles (or enough to cover the top)
- Diced Clery – optional.
Instructions
- We used rotisserie chicken to make the process easier, or you can cook 2 chicken breasts and set aside.
- Spread the black beans or refried beans on the bottom of a 9×13 (we used an 8×8).
- In a large bowl mix the shredded chicken cream cheese, hot sauce and ranch mix together. We used an electric mixer for convivence.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the black beans.
- Place into a 425-degree oven for about 10 minutes or until bubbly.
- Remove, and let cool for about 10 minutes. Then layer the of salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. Here you can add a layer of shredded cheese if you wish.

Leftover Alert!
Part of our weekly grocery routine is picking up a couple of rotisserie chickens each week. We bring them home shred them and debone them and put them in an airtight container that we use throughout the week. When we make this particular dip and we have an abundance of leftovers, we make two more dinners for the week.
One night we spread the dip on a small tortilla, roll them up, spray with a little olive oil, and put them in the air fryer at 370 for a few minutes on each side. They come out nice and crispy almost like a taquito. You can dip them in salsa or sour cream for an easy dinner.
The second night we take the last of the dip and serve a little scoop over a bed of rice. Heat as needed. This layered buffalo chicken dip can really stretch through the week if you want it to. If your family is dip hungry, then you can also just serve it as a dip for a game day or any family night. Or if you are just needing other dip ideas you can try Hot Pizza Dip, Spinach Queso, or Nolan’s Bean Dip. If you have read any or some of our previous posts, you know that we have a sone with down syndrome and hydrocephalus, so we are always looking for soft and flavorful foods that he can eat to meet his needs. It really isn’t too spicy, and it’s something that the kids can help make too.
There is a video on our Instagram page, if you are looking for a better visual. 😀
