6. Mix well to combine. Make sure there are no large areas of cream cheese.

Notes

• If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can make shredded buffalo chicken in a slow cooker on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
• You can replace chicken breasts with chicken thighs but add ¼ cup more buffalo sauce.
• Halloween buffalo chicken dip can be made in a 10 inch round cake pan or pie plate.
• To make ahead: place chicken and cheese mixture in a covered mixing bowl in fridge overnight. When ready for the party, place the mixture in the skillet, top with remaining cheeses and cook. You may need to add a few minutes to cooking time.
