Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Soften cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl for 20 to 30 seconds until it becomes easy to stir.
Stir the softened cream cheese together with the buffalo hot sauce and the ranch or blue cheese dressing until the mixture is smooth.
Fold in the shredded chicken and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese, mixing until everything is evenly coated.
Spoon the mixture into an oven safe 8 inch baking dish and smooth the surface.

For a golden top, broil for 1 to 2 minutes—watch closely so it does not burn.
