Serves: 6–8 | Prep: 10 min | Cook: 20 min | Total: 30 min

Why This Works:

Cream cheese creates a rich, creamy base while cheddar adds depth and melt. Buffalo sauce brings heat and tang, and ranch balances everything out for that perfect addictive flavor.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
• 1/2 cup ranch dressing
• 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Optional: chopped green onions

Kitchen Tools:

• Mixing bowl
• Spoon or spatula
• Baking dish (8×8 or similar)
• Oven
• Measuring cups

Prep:

1. Shred cooked chicken (rotisserie works great)
2. Let cream cheese soften at room temp for easier mixing

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F
2. In a bowl, mix chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch, and softened cream cheese until fully combined
3. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese
4. Spread mixture evenly into a baking dish
5. Bake for 18–22 minutes until hot and bubbly
6. Optional: broil 1–2 minutes for a slightly golden top
7. Garnish with green onions and serve hot

Notes:

• Use rotisserie chicken to save time
• Adjust buffalo sauce for more or less heat
• Serve with chips, crackers, celery, or toasted bread
• Can be made ahead and baked later
