Ingredients

Main ingredients

2-3 cups Cooked chicken, shredded Rotisserie chicken makes life easier.
8 ounces Cream cheese, softened This is the main creamy backbone.
1 cup Sour cream Adds tang and keeps it scoopable.
1 cup Shredded cheddar Plus a little extra for the top.
1 cup Shredded mozzarella This gives you that melty pull.
1/2 cup Buffalo sauce Adjust to taste.
2-3 tablespoons Ranch dressing Or blue cheese dressing if preferred.
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
to taste Salt and pepper
optional to taste Sliced green onions For topping.

Method

Preparation

Heat your oven to 375°F.
In a bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch or blue cheese dressing, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and a pinch of pepper. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
Fold in the shredded chicken and about two thirds of the cheeses. Stir until everything is coated and evenly mixed.
Spread the mixture into your baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until hot and bubbly at the edges. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes for a more golden top.
Let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving to thicken slightly.

Notes

Make ahead of time by mixing everything, spreading in a baking dish, covering tightly, and refrigerating. Bake directly from the fridge with 5 to 10 extra minutes. Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave, adding a spoonful of sour cream if it thickens.
