  • Author: James
  • Total Time: 40
  • Yield: 10-12 servings

Description

A bold, cheesy, and smoky dip with tender shredded chicken, tangy hot sauce, and layered cheeses. Perfect for parties or weeknight meals with creamy, crispy textures and spicy-sweet flavors.


Ingredients

Boneless skinless chicken breasts, 3 large (boiled and shredded)
Cream cheese, 8 oz (cubed)
Ranch dressing, 1 cup (plain version preferred)
Hot sauce, 1 cup + more (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
Black pepper, 1 tsp (freshly ground)
Garlic powder, 1 tsp
Green onion, 1/2 cup (chopped)
Mozzarella cheese, 1.5 cups (pre-shredded or freshly grated)
Cheddar cheese, 1.5 cups (sharp variety)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
Boil water in a large pot. Add chicken breasts and simmer covered for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Drain and let cool slightly before shredding with forks into bite-sized pieces
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth
Add shredded chicken, half the mozzarella and cheddar, and green onions. Mix thoroughly
Transfer to an 8×8-inch baking dish. Top with remaining cheeses
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden, then serve immediately with tortilla chips or Low-Carb Pea Salad

Notes

Pre-shred mozzarella to save time. Use freshly grated cheddar for better melt
Cube cream cheese in advance to soften faster. Room temperature cream cheese blends more smoothly
Add extra hot sauce to taste. Serve with tortilla chips or Low-Carb Pea Salad for contrast
