Step-by-Step Instructions for Buffalo Ranch Chicken Dip

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the sour cream, ranch dressing, and dry ranch seasoning until uniform.
Stir in the Buffalo-style hot sauce and shredded cooked chicken, then fold in two-thirds of the cheeses.
Transfer the mixture into an ungreased baking dish, top with remaining cheeses, and spread evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown; broil for an extra minute for crispiness.
Let it rest for about 5 minutes, then garnish with thinly sliced green onions.
Serve with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks to enjoy.
