Instructions

- Prepare for Baking: Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of a 1.5-quart baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Notes
- Use cooked chicken from rotisserie, grilled, or boiled according to your preference.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your heat preference.
- For a thicker dip, drain excess liquid from the chicken before combining.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicier version.
