– 1 cup of hot sauce
– 1 teaspoon of black pepper

– ยฝ cup of chopped green onion

Instructions
1-Getting this buffalo chicken dip just right involves a few simple steps that anyone can follow, even if you’re a beginner. Start by boiling the chicken breasts until fully cooked, then shred them and let them cool for easy mixing. Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan to ensure nothing sticks.
2-Next, in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This step blends the flavors perfectly before adding the other ingredients. Once smooth, remove from heat and stir in the shredded chicken, chopped green onions, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese for a hearty base.
3-Pour the mixture into your prepared baking pan and top it with the remaining shredded cheeses. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles, then broil for 2 to 3 minutes to get a golden brown top. Let it cool a bit before serving warm, perhaps with chips or veggies for the best experience.

๐ง Use block cream cheese instead of whipped cream cheese to prevent separation and ensure a creamy texture
๐ For best results, use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-shredded varieties for optimal melting and flavor
โฐ This dip can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking – just add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if chilled
