INGREDIENTS

1 Six-Pack of Hoptimist IPA

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 teaspoons minced garlic

2 cups cooked chicken shredded

1/2 cup Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce

8 oz (250g) g block cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup white Cheddar cheese freshly shredded

1/4 cup American cheddar freshly shredded

1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional to serve)

2 teaspoons green onions, sliced ( or chives)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange oven rack to the middle of your oven. In an 8-inch cast-iron skillet (or an ovenproof pan), melt the butter over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant (30 seconds). Pour about 8 ounces of Hoptimist into the pan and pour the rest directly into your mouth. Add the chicken and hot sauce and simmer until sauce has thickened and reduced by half (about 2 minutes). Reduce heat to low and stir in cream cheese; mix until combined. Take off heat, stir through sour cream and top with both cheddar cheese(s) over the top. Bake until bubbling around the edges and the cheese has melted (about 10 minutes). Broil (or grill) for a further minute to brown on top. Immediately garnish with blue cheese and green onions. Serve with vegetable sticks, chips, crusty bread pieces for dipping. Pass around a few bottles and get everyone at your party to be a Hoptimist during the game.
