Ingredients

2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded8 oz Cream cheese, softened1/2 cup Buffalo hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)1/2 cup Ranch dressing1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese1/4 cup Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish (about 8x8 inches or a 1.5-quart casserole dish).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo hot sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix well until smooth and thoroughly combined. A hand mixer can help achieve a very smooth consistency.
3
Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese into the cream cheese mixture. Fold until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
4
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
5
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden. If desired, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra browning, watching carefully to prevent burning.
6
Remove from oven, garnish with chopped green onions if using, and serve immediately with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or your favorite dippers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dip mixture (steps 1-3) and store it in the baking dish, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to bake, add the top layer of cheese and increase baking time by 5-10 minutes if starting from cold.

What kind of chicken should I use?

Any cooked chicken works well! You can use leftover roasted chicken, rotisserie chicken, or simply boil and shred chicken breasts for this recipe.

How can I make this dip spicier?

To increase the heat, you can add an extra splash of buffalo hot sauce, a pinch of cayenne pepper, or finely diced jalapeños to the mixture.
