Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grab a medium-sized baking dish.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix everything together until it is well combined and creamy.
Assembling
  1. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken mixture.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Serving
  1. Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot with tortilla chips and celery sticks.

Notes

For a spicier dip, add more buffalo sauce. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or a blend of Mexican cheeses. For a healthier option, use light cream cheese and ranch dressing.
