Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook the shredded chicken in a pot of salted water for 12-15 minutes until it reaches 165°F, then shred it.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a medium saucepan, mix cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and fold in shredded chicken, half the mozzarella, half the cheddar, and green onions (if using).
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish, pour in the mixture, and top with remaining cheeses.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a golden top.
Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
