Ingredients
Scale
- 24 ounces cooked shredded chicken breasts
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients—cooked shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar cheese.
