Instructions

  1. Preheat your #[Oven] to ![350°F]. Lightly grease a 9-inch #[Pie Dish], an 8x8-inch #[Baking Dish], or a similar oven-safe dish.
  2. In a large #[Mixing Bowl], beat the softened @[Cream Cheese] with a #[Hand Mixer] (or stir vigorously with a #[Spatula]) until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Add the @[Buffalo Sauce], @[Ranch Dressing], and @[Blue Cheese Dressing] (if using) to the @[Cream Cheese]. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Fold in the shredded @[Chicken Breast] and ¾ cup of the shredded @[Cheddar Cheese]. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared #[Baking Dish]. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of @[Cheddar Cheese] and the @[Mozzarella Cheese] evenly over the top.
  6. Bake uncovered at ![350°F] for ~[20–25 minutes], until the dip is hot and bubbling around the edges and the cheese on top is melted and just starting to turn golden.
  7. Remove from the #[Oven] and let it rest for ~[5 minutes] before serving — it will be very hot. Garnish with sliced @[Celery], @[Blue Cheese] crumbles, and chopped @[Chives] if desired.
  8. Serve warm directly from the #[Baking Dish] with @[Tortilla Chips], @[Celery] sticks, and/or sliced @[Pita Bread] / @[Baguette] on the side.
