Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional, for extra melt)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, for tang)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • To serve: tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, crackers, or toasted baguette

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish (about 1 quart).
  • In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the hot sauce, ranch, and garlic powder until fully combined.
  • Fold in the shredded chicken, half the cheddar, mozzarella (if using), blue cheese (if using), and green onions. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Spread the mixture into the baking dish. Top with the remaining cheddar.
  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, until bubbling around the edges and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
  • Let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with extra green onions. Serve warm with your favorite dippers.
