Ingredients
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup diced chicken strips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease your baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce until smooth.
Fold in the shredded chicken and half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Top with the remaining cheese and optional crispy chicken strips.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Use Greek yogurt instead of ranch for a lighter version, or add celery and scallions for extra crunch.
