How to Make Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip

In a skillet over medium heat, add shredded chicken mixed with Frank’s RedHot Original Hot Sauce. Stir for about 5 minutes until heated through.
Add softened cream cheese and ranch dressing to the skillet. Stir well until everything is combined and heated through.
Stir in half of your shredded cheeses until melted. Then, sprinkle the remaining cheeses on top.
Transfer your skillet to a preheated oven set at 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
Once out of the oven, garnish with green onions or parsley. Serve with tortilla chips, toasted bread, or fresh veggies.
