Full Recipe:
2 cups cooked smoked chicken, shredded
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
½ cup ranch dressing
½ cup buffalo wing sauce
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Tortilla chips, celery sticks, or baguette slices (for serving)
Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce; stir until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the smoked chicken, half of the cheddar, half of the Monterey Jack, and all the green onions; mix well.
Transfer this mixture to a baking dish or oven-safe skillet, spreading it evenly.
Top with the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Bake, uncovered, for 20–25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end to achieve a golden, cheesy crust on top.
Serve immediately warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crusty bread.
