Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the softened cream cheese, nonfat milk, and pepper sauce. Stir continuously over medium heat until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is smooth and well combined (about 3-5 minutes).
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the creamy sauce. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Then, transfer the mixture into a baking dish (such as a 9x13 inch casserole dish).
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Drizzle the ranch dressing over the cheese. Finally, evenly sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese on top.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions for extra flavor and a pop of color.
Tips:
- For a milder version, reduce the amount of pepper sauce used, or choose a milder hot sauce.
- Shred the chicken finely to ensure even distribution of the meat throughout the casserole.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken breasts from scratch.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature before mixing, to get a smooth, even texture.
- You can add some vegetables like bell peppers or celery for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Top with some green onions or fresh parsley before serving for added color and freshness.
This Buffalo chicken casserole with cream cheese and blue cheese is a true crowd-pleaser that combines the classic flavors of buffalo wings with the comforting warmth of a casserole. Easy to prepare and packed with flavor, it's sure to become one of your go-to recipes for any occasion.
