Instructions
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Let’s get that oven nice and toasty while we throw this together.
- Mix it up. In a large bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder. Don’t stress about perfection—just mix until it looks like something you definitely want to eat.
- Add the cheese. Stir in ½ cup of the shredded cheddar (save the rest for later). If you’re using blue cheese, toss that in too. More cheese = better life choices.
- Transfer to a baking dish. Spread the mixture evenly in a 9-inch baking dish or an oven-safe skillet. No need to be fancy—just make sure it’s all in there.
- Top it off. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese on top. This is where things get extra melty and delicious.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Pop it in the oven and let the magic happen. The cheese should be bubbly, slightly golden, and screaming “eat me now.”
- Serve and enjoy. Take it out, let it cool for a minute (if you can wait), then grab your chips, celery, or a spoon—no judgment here.
- This dip disappears fast, so you might want to double the batch. Just saying!
