1-Getting started with Buffalo Chicken Dip: First, cook the chicken by poaching it in boiling water, covered, for about 25 minutes until fully cooked, then shred it once it cools this step ensures tender, flavorful meat. Next, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

2-In a pot over medium-low heat, warm the cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder, whisking until it becomes a smooth, creamy mixture. Stir in the shredded chicken, green onions, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese until everything is well combined. Transfer this mixture to your prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top for that irresistible cheesy crust.

3-Bake the dip for 20-30 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles, then switch the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden brown top.
