Step by step

Method

4 steps

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 375°F. Put 8 ounces softened cream cheese in a bowl and stir until smooth. Add 3 cups shredded cooked chicken, ½ cup buffalo sauce, ½ cup ranch dressing, 1 cup shredded cheddar, and ½ cup shredded mozzarella.

2. 2

   Fold everything together until the chicken is coated. Taste a small amount of the mixture and add more buffalo sauce for heat or a pinch of salt if needed.

3. 3

   Spread the dip in a 9-inch baking dish and top with another ½ cup cheddar. Bake 20–25 minutes, until the edges bubble and the center is hot.

4. 4

   Rest 5 minutes so the dip thickens slightly. Scatter over sliced scallions and serve with celery, carrot sticks, or sturdy chips.
