New Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Dip

Happy Tasty Tuesday!

Summer is the perfect time for picnics and cook outs which means plenty of fun appetizers and quick,  easy meals. My apologies in advance for future Tasty Tuesday posts because honestly, my focus hasn't been making new recipes for dinner since my diet has consisted mainly of hot dogs on the grill and ice cream (#sorrynotsorry). So today I'm sharing my cousin Zach's delicious buffalo chicken recipe which is easy to make and perfect for weekend cook outs. 

Ingredients:

• 1 8oz package of plain Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
• Franks Red Hot Sauce
• 3 large boneless chicken breasts (cut into strips)
• 1 tbsp butter
• Bleu cheese dressing
• 1/2 cup crumbled bleu cheese
• Three cheese blend shredded
• salt, pepper and garlic powder

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Heat butter in a non-stick pan and add chicken strips. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Cook chicken thoroughly and remove from heat, let it sit for 4-5 minutes
• Spread entire cream cheese bar around bottom of 8x8 ceramic pan.
• Cut chicken strips into half-inch cubes and return to non-stick pan. Add franks red hot to coat chicken in pan thoroughly and cook at a low heat for 5 minutes.
• Layer half of chicken to the ceramic pan along with half of the crumbled bleu cheese and drizzle bleu cheese dressing as desired. Repeat with second half of chicken and bleu cheese.
• Top with shredded cheese.
• Bake in oven for 35-45 minutes or until top cheese begins to brown.
• Remove from oven and let sit.
• Serve with tortilla chips and eat until your stomach bursts!

**Special thanks to my cousin, Zach, who sent me this recipe last minute (I know you're reading). He even sent me a picture! Although I've never made this recipe before, I have eaten it and it's AMAZING.**
