- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Chicken:

3. Bake the Dip:
