Prepare your chicken by either boiling, baking, or using a rotisserie chicken. Shred it into small pieces to ensure it's easy to mix with the other ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Make sure all the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the sauce for a uniform spicy taste throughout the dip.
Add the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing to the buffalo chicken. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and creamy.
Fold in one cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Reserve the remaining cheese for topping the dip.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease the baking dish to prevent sticking. Spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the dip. This will create a delicious cheesy crust once baked.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is starting to brown at the edges.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor and color if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat portions in the oven or microwave until heated through before serving.
