I love buffalo chicken dip. When I was trying to come up with a dinner idea last night, I was stuck on the thought of that dip. I knew I couldn’t just serve chip and dips though, at least not on a weeknight when we all look forward to sit down meals. So I decided to see if I could turn a snacky favorite into a substantial dinner.
It worked, and the results were delicious!
Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti
- 1 lb. spaghetti, fully cooked and drained
- 1 – 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- salt & pepper, to taste
- 2 c. chicken stock
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 1/4 c. hot sauce (more or less, depending on desired intensity. 1/4 c. will be mild to medium in flavor.)
- 1 c. Ranch or Bleu cheese dressing
1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a skillet with chicken stock, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove chicken and reserve 1/2 c. cooking liquid.
2. In a saucepan, combine the cream cheese, hot sauce and reserved cooking liquid. Cook over medium-low heat until the cream cheese is completely melted. While the sauce is cooking, shred or cube the cooked chicken.
3. Add the dressing and chicken to the saucepan, stir to combine, and then toss with the cooked spaghetti.
I tasted this right after I made it and noticed that the heat increased a little after it had been sitting in the refrigerator for a few hours. So if you are making this ahead of time, you might want to keep that in mind.

That sounds incredible! I’ve only made that buffalo dip twice because quite frankly… that dip was eeeeeevil and removed all common sense from our collective brains… we just couldn’t ourselves away from the bowl LOL.
Thanks for sharing! I’ll be making this soon..
