Cooking Instructions

  • Cook the chicken by boiling it in water for approximately 25 minutes or until fully cooked, then shred it.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9x9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium saucepot over medium-low heat, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add shredded chicken, green onion, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese to the sauce. Mix well and transfer to the prepared baking pan. Top with remaining mozzarella and cheddar.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or enjoy in a tortilla with greens.

Notes

Prepare chicken ahead of time if short on time. Can use shredded rotisserie chicken. Leftovers taste great for 2-3 days. Can be made in a Crockpot for a different presentation.
