Ingredients

For the Base

8 oz Cream Cheese Provides creamy richness; substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
1 cup Ranch Dressing Adds tanginess; low-fat varieties are great for a lighter dip.

For the Chicken

1/2 cup Hot Sauce Brings that signature heat; adjust the amount to suit your spice level.

For the Cheese

1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Enhances creaminess; mix with other cheeses like mozzarella for a unique twist.

For Garnish

2 tbsp Green Onions Adds a pop of freshness; can be replaced with chives if preferred.
