Step-by-Step Instructions for Simple Buffalo Chicken Dip
  1. Cook chicken breasts in boiling salted water for 12-15 minutes until cooked through, then shred.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a saucepan, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and fold in shredded chicken with mozzarella and cheddar cheese, reserving some green onions for garnish.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, spread evenly, and top with remaining cheeses.
