Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Optional toppings: extra shredded cheese, chopped green onions

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
  4. Fold in the shredded chicken and both types of cheese until the chicken is fully coated in the creamy mixture.
  5. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. If desired, sprinkle additional cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
  7. For a golden brown top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end (watch carefully to prevent burning).
  8. Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite dippers.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for time savings and great flavor. Adjust heat level with mild/medium/hot buffalo sauce. Make ahead by preparing mixture up to 24 hours in advance. Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for extra creamy texture.
