Ingredients
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, buffalo hot sauce, and ranch dressing until smooth.
Fold the shredded chicken into the cream cheese mixture.
Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish or cast-iron skillet and spread into an even layer.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for the smoothest texture. Use rotisserie chicken for the easiest preparation. Serve hot for the best pull and flavor.
