Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Poach the Chicken: Bring a pot of water to a boil, add chicken breasts, and poach for about 25 minutes until fully cooked. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
  3. Make the Creamy Base: In a saucepan, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder over medium-low heat. Stir until smooth and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Mix in the Chicken and Cheeses: Stir in the shredded chicken and chopped green onions, then add mozzarella and cheddar cheese until fully combined.
  5. Transfer to the Baking Pan: Pour the mixture into the greased pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and cheddar on top.
  6. Bake the Dip: Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Broil for Extra Crispiness: Switch to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese is golden brown.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Let sit for a few minutes before serving warm with tortilla chips or veggie sticks.
