Ingredients:

• 2 8-ounce blocks cream cheese, softened
  
  

• 1 12.5-ounce can chicken, drained (or rotisserie chicken, shredded)
  
  

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  
  

• 1 packet dry ranch dressing mix
  
  

Directions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth texture. Drain the canned chicken (or use rotisserie chicken for quicker prep).
   
   

2. Mix the Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing mix. Stir everything together until fully incorporated.
   
   

3. Chill and Serve:
   Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. This step can be skipped if you’re in a rush.
   
   

4. Serve:
   Serve chilled with sturdy crackers, celery, carrot sticks, or tortilla chips. You can also warm the dip in the microwave or on the stovetop if preferred.
