Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 1.5-quart or 8x8-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, hot sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix with a hand mixer or spatula until smooth and fully combined.
- Fold in the shredded chicken and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
- Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dippers.
Notes
Tip 1: For the creamiest dip, use full-fat block cream cheese and shred your own cheese from a block. Pre-shredded cheeses contain additives that can make the dip greasy.
Tip 2: A rotisserie chicken is a fantastic time-saver and adds great flavor. Simply pull the meat and give it a rough chop.
Tip 3: You can assemble this dip up to 2 days in advance. Cover and refrigerate, then bake as directed, adding 5-10 minutes to the cook time.
