Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 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 blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for serving

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and green onions to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and smooth the top. If using blue cheese crumbles, sprinkle them over the top.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden around the edges.
  5. For slow cooker method: Combine all ingredients (except blue cheese crumbles) in slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well blended.
  7. If using blue cheese crumbles, sprinkle them on top during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Keep on warm setting for serving.

Notes

Use pre-cooked shredded chicken for convenience (rotisserie chicken works perfectly). Ensure cream cheese is softened for smooth texture. Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to control heat level (1/4 cup for mild, up to 3/4 cup for extra spicy). Dip can be made 24 hours ahead and refrigerated before baking.
