Cheese Blend

Roasted Chicken

Method

Prepare the Cheese Blend

  1. 1

    Mix the Cheese

    In a large bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded cheddar cheese until well mixed. Set aside.

Make the Hot Sauce

  1. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied.

  2. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add hot sauce, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to the melted butter. Stir until well combined and simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Prepare the Roasted Chicken

  1. 4

    Season the Chicken

    In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken with salt and black pepper. Mix until chicken is evenly coated.

  2. 5

    Toss with Hot Sauce

    Pour the prepared hot sauce over the seasoned chicken and toss well to ensure the chicken is fully coated in the sauce.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a baking dish, layer half of the cheese blend on the bottom, followed by the buffalo chicken mixture, and then top with the remaining cheese blend.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the layered dish for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

  3. 8

    Add Toppings

    Once out of the oven, sprinkle blue cheese crumbles and chopped green onions over the top before serving.
