Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 cups shredded cooked chicken rotisserie works best
8 oz cream cheese softened
1/2 cup buffalo sauce adjust to taste
1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional: chopped green onions crumbled blue cheese, extra hot sauce
Substitutions: Neufchâtel cottage cheese + Greek yogurt, or blue cheese dressing

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, 1/2 cup cheddar, and mozzarella until smooth.
Spread mixture evenly in baking dish and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar.
Bake 20–25 minutes until hot, bubbly, and golden brown on top. Watch for bubbling edges.
Cool 2–3 minutes, then garnish with green onions or blue cheese. Serve hot with chips, crackers, or veggies.

Notes

Yields about 8 servings. Always soften cream cheese to avoid lumps. Rotisserie chicken keeps dip moist. Stick to 375°F to prevent greasy separation. Store leftovers up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze unbaked dip for 3 months. Great for sliders, bread bowls, or stuffed into mini peppers.
