Instructions

Sauté aromatics: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
Add chicken and tomatoes: Stir in drained diced tomatoes and shredded chicken. Heat for about 2 minutes.
Mix in sauces and cream cheese: Add buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and ranch (or blue cheese) dressing. Stir until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is smooth.
Add cheeses: Reduce heat to low and stir in cheddar and mozzarella until fully melted and creamy.
Serve: Transfer to a serving dish or slow cooker on the “warm” setting. Top with green onions, blue cheese, celery, or extra buffalo sauce before serving.

Notes

Use chipotle buffalo sauce or smoked paprika for a smoky twist.

Adjust spice level by increasing or reducing buffalo sauce.

Keep warm in a slow cooker for parties.

Thin with milk or cream if it thickens upon reheating.

Serve with tortilla chips, pretzel bites, or veggie sticks.
