Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded chicken (from 1 rotisserie chicken, no skin or fat)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Blue cheese or ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Hidden Valley ranch seasoning
  • 1/4 cup fresh scallions, chopped
  • 3 cups cheddar jack cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Shred Chicken: Shred the rotisserie chicken carefully, ensuring all skin and bones are removed for a smooth texture.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped scallions, softened cream cheese, 1 cup of cheddar jack cheese, Hidden Valley ranch seasoning, Frank’s hot sauce, and your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing. Mix thoroughly until well blended. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
  4. Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into a baking dish, spreading evenly. Then sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of cheddar jack cheese and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese evenly over the top for a cheesy crust.
  5. Bake and Broil: Bake the dip at 375°F for 15 minutes to heat through and meld flavors. Then broil for 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden brown, bubbly cheese topping—watch carefully to avoid burning.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the dip warm with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy this spicy, cheesy, and creamy appetizer!
