• ½ cup sour cream
• ½ cup chopped green onions
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

3. How to Make the Ultimate Playoff Chicken Dip

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Add Chicken and Cheese

Stir in the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and chopped green onions. For an even more flavorful twist, consider adding sliced jalapeños or chopped celery.

Step 3: Bake the Dip

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and golden brown on top. For a crispy finish, you can broil it for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Serve hot with tortilla chips, pita chips, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetable sticks. For a more rustic presentation, you can also serve the dip directly from a slow cooker, especially if you plan to keep it warm during your party.
