Best Easy Game Day Buffalo Chicken Charcuterie Board Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup ranch dressing
• 1 cup celery sticks, cut into manageable pieces for dipping
• 1 cup carrot sticks
• 1 cup bell pepper strips (red, yellow, and green)
• 1 cup sliced cucumbers
• 1 cup tortilla chips or pita chips
• 1 cup pretzel bites
• 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
• Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• Sliced jalapeños (for an extra kick)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing. Use a hand mixer or fork to blend the ingredients until well combined and creamy.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the buffalo chicken mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and golden on top.
3. While the dip is baking, start arranging the charcuterie board. On a large serving platter or wooden board, place the baked buffalo chicken dip in the center.
4. Surround the dip with an assortment of celery sticks, carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, and cucumber slices. Add tortilla chips and pretzel bites around the board.
5. Sprinkle chopped parsley or green onions over the buffalo chicken dip for added color and freshness. Add sliced jalapeños for a spicier flavor if desired.
6. Serve the charcuterie board immediately while the dip is warm. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
