Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or poached)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup buffalo hot sauce (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional but classic)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional for depth)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions or chives, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter for greasing the dish
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing for drizzling (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter.
  2. Prep the chicken: Shred the cooked chicken into bite-size pieces. If it’s cold, let it sit out for 10 minutes so it mixes more easily.
  3. Make the creamy base: In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth. If needed, microwave the cream cheese for 15–20 seconds to soften.
  4. Add the heat and flavor: Stir in buffalo sauce, garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the heat level now.
  5. Fold in the cheese: Add half the mozzarella, half the cheddar, and all the blue cheese (if using). Mix until evenly distributed.
  6. Add the chicken and onions: Fold in the shredded chicken and green onions. The mixture should be thick and creamy, not runny.
  7. Assemble: Spread the mixture evenly in the baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella and cheddar.
  8. Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the edges bubble and the top is melted and lightly golden. For extra color, broil 2–3 minutes at the end—watch closely.
  9. Finish and serve: Let it rest 5–10 minutes to set. Garnish with more green onions and a light drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing if you like.
