Optional Toppings:

🔥 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or small casserole dish.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

If you’re not using pre-cooked chicken, bake chicken breasts at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until fully cooked. Let cool, then shred with two forks.

Step 3: Mix the Creamy Base

In a large mixing bowl:

Beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add sour cream and mayonnaise.
Mix until fully combined and creamy.

Step 4: Add Flavor

Stir in:

Buffalo sauce
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Salt and pepper

Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 5: Add Chicken & Cheese

Fold in:

Shredded chicken
Half of the cheddar cheese
Half of the mozzarella cheese

Stir until evenly distributed.

Step 6: Assemble & Bake

Spread mixture evenly into prepared baking dish.

Top with:

Remaining cheddar
Remaining mozzarella

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until hot and bubbly with lightly golden cheese on top.

For extra browning, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (watch carefully!).
