  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts – boiled and shredded

Dip Base

  • 8 ounces cream cheese – cubed
  • 1 cup ranch dressing – homemade or store-bought
  • 1 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot) plus more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Add-ins

  • ½ cup green onion – chopped
  • 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese – shredded (divided)
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese – shredded (divided)

Instructions

  1. Boil Chicken: Boil the boneless skinless chicken breasts in water until fully cooked through, then shred the meat using two forks to create fine, tender shredded chicken.
  2. Prepare Dip Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder; mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Chicken and Cheese: Fold the shredded chicken, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the chopped green onions into the dip mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the combined mixture evenly into a baking dish, smoothing the surface for even baking.
  5. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the top of the dip.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), then bake the dip for about 20 minutes or until it is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot alongside your favorite chips, fresh veggies, or a low-carb pea salad for dipping.

Notes

  • Use cooked shredded chicken to save time; store-bought rotisserie chicken works well.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spiciness of the dip.
  • For a creamier texture, use full-fat cream cheese and ranch dressing.
  • This dip can be made ahead of time and refrigerated, then baked just before serving.
  • Serve with celery sticks, tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables.
