Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing, for extra flavor)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for greasing the baking dish)
- Chopped green onions or fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish (an 8×8-inch dish works well) with olive oil.
- Prepare the Dip: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, half of the cheddar cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Bake the Dip: Transfer the dip mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.
- Cook: Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it is hot, bubbly, and the cheese on top is golden and melted.
- Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley, if desired. Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks for dipping.
