Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (preferably rotisserie for convenience)

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup ranch dressing, for creaminess

1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust according to your heat preference)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (preferably sharp for added flavor)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, for meltiness

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Tortilla chips, celery sticks, or assorted fresh veggies (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it's ready for baking.

    Mix Cream Cheese: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, incorporate the softened cream cheese with the ranch dressing. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy; a hand mixer works well, but a fork can also do the trick.

      Add Chicken and Sauces: Fold in the shredded chicken and buffalo wing sauce into the cream cheese mixture, stirring until everything is well combined. Ensure that the chicken is thoroughly coated with the flavorful sauce.

        Incorporate Cheeses: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, being careful to reserve a handful of each type for topping later.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the chicken and cheese mixture into a 9x9 inch (or similarly sized) oven-safe baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth out the top and create an even layer.

            Top with Remaining Cheese: Sprinkle the reserved cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the surface of the dip, creating a rich cheesy topping that will melt beautifully.

              Bake: Place the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on it until the dip is bubbly, and the cheese is melted and turns a light golden brown.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top to add a fresh pop of color and enhance the flavor. Serve immediately with your choice of tortilla chips, crunchy celery sticks, or assorted fresh veggies for dipping.
