Buffalo Chicken Dip

I have tried several different version of this and recently came up with my own recipe.  I used leftover chicken from a roast.  Many recipes suggested using a bottled dressing. Don't do it.  This is simple to do and I have now served this to a group of people twice with multiple requests for the recipe. For the hot sauce, I like to use a combination such as Franks and Crystal.


Ingredients:
2 cups of cooked chicken, shredded
1/4 cup of sour cream
1/4 cup of mayonnaise
1/4 cup of crumbled blue cheese or gorgonzola
1/2 a lemon, juiced
1/4 tsp worcestershire
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup of hot sauce
1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
4 oz of cheddar, grated and half reserved
3 scallions, sliced
Pita and Tortilla chips for serving

Preheat oven to 350.  Place chicken in a mixing bowl.  In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, gorgonzola, lemon, worcestershire and salt and pepper.  Stir together and then add to the chicken.  Add in the hot sauce and cream cheese.  Mash together with a fork until all of the cream cheese is incorporated.  Add in half of the cheddar cheese and stir until just combined.  Place in a 1 1/2 quart baking dish, top with reserved cheddar cheese.  Bake for 15 minutes until just bubbling.  Turn up the heat on the oven to 425 and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the top has just begun to brown.  Finish with the scallions and serve with pita and tortilla chips.
