Print Recipe

A spicy, cheesy buffalo chicken dip baked inside a hollowed sourdough bread bowl, perfect for game day or parties. This easy recipe combines creamy, tangy filling with a crispy bread crust for a crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 large sourdough bread boule (about 1 pound)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Celery sticks or tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Using a serrated knife, cut a circle around the top of the sourdough boule about 2 inches from the edge. Remove the lid and scoop out the soft interior, leaving about 1-inch thick walls and bottom to form the bread bowl. Save the removed bread for dipping.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar, and mozzarella cheese. Stir until well incorporated and creamy. Add more buffalo sauce or a tablespoon of sour cream if the mixture feels dry.
  4. Spoon the buffalo chicken dip into the hollowed bread bowl, packing it evenly but not overfilling. Replace the bread lid on top.
  5. Brush the outside of the bread bowl and lid with melted butter to help crisp the crust.
  6. Place the stuffed bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly and the crust is golden and crisp.
  7. Remove from oven, sprinkle sliced green onions on top if using, and serve immediately with celery sticks, tortilla chips, or reserved bread cubes.

Notes

Do not hollow the bread bowl walls too thin to avoid collapse or sogginess; aim for about 1-inch thickness. Soften cream cheese before mixing for smooth texture. Brush bread with melted butter before baking for a crisp, golden crust. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly. The dip can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated before baking.
