Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken rotisserie works great

- ½ cup mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles optional
- Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, ranch dressing, and hot sauce. Stir until smooth.
- Fold in the shredded chicken, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (8x8 inch or similar).
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Notes
- Chicken tip: Rotisserie chicken adds flavor and saves time.
- Make it ahead: Assemble up to a day in advance, refrigerate, and bake just before serving.
- Slow cooker option: Cook on LOW for 2–3 hours or until hot and melty.
- Spice level: Adjust hot sauce to taste for a milder or spicier dip.
