Cooking Instructions
- If your chicken is not yet cooked, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and poach, covered, for approximately 25 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9x9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk constantly until the cream cheese dissolves.
- Add cooked chicken, green onion, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1 cup cheddar to the sauce pot. Mix well and transfer to the baking pan. Top with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes until cheese melts and sides bubble. Set oven to BROIL for 2-3 minutes until top is golden.
- Serve with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or crackers.
Notes
You can substitute with approximately 4 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken. Freshly shredded cheese gives better results than pre-shredded. Leftovers last for 2-3 days; reheat in the microwave or oven.
