Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 12-15 minutes or until they reach 165°F. Remove and shred.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium pot, combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder over medium heat. Stir for 3-5 minutes until smooth.
  4. Fold in the shredded chicken, 1 cup mozzarella, 1 cup cheddar, and most of the green onions. Stir to combine.
  5. Spread the mixture into the baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella and cheddar.
  6. Bake for 20-30 minutes until bubbly. Broil for 2-3 minutes if desired for a light char.
  7. Garnish with reserved green onions before serving. Enjoy with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Notes

Consider using rotisserie chicken for faster preparation. Soften cream cheese to avoid lumps. Adjust hot sauce for personal spice preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
