Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a deep pie dish by spraying it lightly with pan spray.

  3. Add the softened cream cheese and beat until fully combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. Gently fold in the shredded rotisserie chicken, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, and blue cheese, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  5. Set aside a small handful of the chopped green onions for garnishing later. Fold in the rest into the mixture.
  6. Transfer the creamy chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted and turned golden brown.
  2. Top with the reserved green onions and serve hot with corn chips or fresh bread for dipping.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing. Choose a buffalo sauce that matches your spice preference; adjust the amount based on how spicy you want your dip. Experiment with different types of cheese like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for unique flavors.
