Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup Buffalo sauce
- 1 cup Ranch dressing
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 quarter cup Blue cheese crumbles (optional)
- 1 cup Chopped pecans, for coating
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)
- 0 Crackers or vegetable sticks, for serving
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and blue cheese crumbles (if using). Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 3
Form the mixture into a large ball using your hands or a rubber spatula. If the mixture is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
Spread the chopped pecans out on a large plate or shallow dish. Roll the cheese ball in the pecans until fully coated, pressing lightly to adhere the pecans.
Step 5
Transfer the cheese ball to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with finely chopped parsley for garnish.
Step 6
Refrigerate the cheese ball for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
Step 7
Serve with a selection of crackers or vegetable sticks and enjoy!
