Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken is fantastic)
  • 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing, if preferred)
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (akin to Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheddar and mozzarella combination)

  • Step 4: Move to a baking dishEvenly distribute the ingredients into an oven-safe baking dish—such as a medium cast-iron skillet or an 8×8-inch pan.
  • Step 5: Top with cheeseSprinkle the last ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  • Step 6: Cook the dipBake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbling, roughly 20 minutes. The cheese on top should be melted and just slightly browned.
  • Step 7: Present and garnishTake it out of the oven and let it cool gently. For further taste and freshness, garnish with chopped green onions.
