Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat.
   
   

2. Prepare Creamy Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or a fork to blend until smooth and well-combined.
   
   

3. Add Flavorings: Stir in the buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
   
   

4. Incorporate Chicken and Cheese: Fold in the shredded chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled blue cheese (if using). Mix until the chicken and cheese are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
   
   

5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the mixture into a baking dish, such as a pie pan or an 8-inch square dish. Spread it evenly into the corners.
   
   

6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is slightly golden.
   
   

7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, crackers, or pita chips.
