Ingredients

  • 1 pound rotisserie chicken shredded
  • ½ cup hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese

For Dipping:

  • tortilla chips, celery, carrots, crackers, potato chips, breadsticks, crusty bread, peppers, or anything else you love to dunk with

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a skillet, sprayed with non-stick spray, brown the shredded chicken for a few minutes to crisp the edges just a bit. It should only take about 3 to 5 minutes over medium heat. Keep it moving to keep it from sticking. Add the hot sauce and smoked paprika, cook just long enough to incorporate the sauce and spice into the chicken, about 2 to 3 minutes at most. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl (I use my stand mixer for this) combine the cream cheese, chicken mixture, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix until combined.
  • Pour into cast iron pans (I spray mine really well with non-stick spray) or a casserole dish. Cover with remaining half of the mozzarella cheese. Place in oven and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes. If you like yours dark you can cook it for a bit longer.
  • This is best when it's eaten hot out of the oven with lots of fun things to dip into it.
  • Serve with a big old cheesy smile!

Notes

Some folks love ranch dressing mix in theirs. I'm not a fan but you can totally add it in yours!
