Soft Rolls Filled with Spicy, Cheesy Chicken

Soft, buttery rolls cradle the creamy buffalo chicken filling, baked until melty and warm. Each bite is rich and cozy, with a hint of heat and just enough cheese to keep it satisfying. Whether you serve it as a dip or tucked into rolls, it’s an easy, inviting dish perfect for casual gatherings or a quiet night in.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (or 2 × 12.5 oz canned chicken, drained)
• 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup buffalo sauce
• ¼ cup ranch dressing
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:
   Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish.
2. Mix the base:
   In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, chicken, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
3. Assemble the dip:
   Spread the mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
4. Bake until bubbly:
   Bake for 20–25 minutes, until hot and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
5. Serve warm:
   Let cool slightly, then serve with crackers, tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or use the baked dip as a filling for Buffalo Chicken Sliders by layering it onto soft rolls and toasting until warm.

Storage:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warm, or microwave briefly.
• Freezing is not recommended as the texture may change after thawing.

Note:

• Adjust the heat by adding more or less buffalo sauce to taste.
• Shredded rotisserie chicken adds more texture and flavor than canned chicken.
