Ingredients:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
  • 2 tbsp buffalo ranch seasoning
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
  • 1/3 cup hot buffalo sauce
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions:

  1. Beat the room-temperature cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and velvety.
  2. Fold in the shredded cheddar, buffalo ranch seasoning, and cracked black pepper until the mixture is uniform and free of lumps.
  3. Gently fold in the finely shredded chicken and buffalo sauce, mixing until the chicken is fully coated and the mixture is a vibrant orange color.
  4. Scoop the mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap, gather the edges, and twist tightly to compress the mixture into a firm, smooth ball.
  5. Refrigerate the compressed ball for 1 hour to ensure it sets and holds its shape.
  6. Remove the plastic wrap and roll the ball in blue cheese crumbles, chopped chives, and smoked paprika, pressing the garnishes lightly into the surface.
