Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 2 cups (about 300g) cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 170g) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup (about 50g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 large bag of crispy tortilla chips
  • Optional garnishes: chopped green onions, crumbled blue cheese, extra ranch or blue cheese dressing, fresh parsley or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure cream cheese is softened.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Frank’s RedHot sauce, ranch dressing, and sour cream. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until completely smooth, light, and fluffy.
  3. Fold in the shredded chicken, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, and all of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish or 2-quart casserole dish. Spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until edges are bubbly and top cheese is melted and lightly golden brown. For a browner top, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish as desired and serve immediately with crispy tortilla chips.

Notes

For a milder dip, use 1/3 cup hot sauce. For a slow cooker method, combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours or HIGH for 1-1.5 hours. Shred your own cheese for best melting. Let dip rest 5 minutes after baking to prevent greasiness.
