• ½ cup (125 g) ranch dressing

• ½ cup (115 g) shredded cheddar cheese

• ½ cup (115 g) crumbled blue cheese (optional)

• 2 tbsp chopped chives or parsley (for garnish)

Directions

1. Place the cream cheese in a shallow, microwave safe ceramic or glass dish. Microwave on medium-high (500W) for 30 seconds to soften.

2. Add the shredded chicken, buffalo hot sauce, ranch dressing, ¼ cup of cheddar cheese, ¼ cup of blue cheese (if using), and 1 tablespoon of chives or parsley. Stir until well combined.

3. Spread the mixture evenly in the dish. Microwave on high (800W) for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave for an additional 1 minute.

4. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and blue cheese over the top. Microwave for 2–3 minutes on high, until the cheese melts and the dip is hot.

5. Carefully remove from the microwave using potholders. Garnish with the remaining chives or parsley and serve warm with chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
