Notes
Soften cream cheese well before mixing to avoid lumps. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and flavor. Watch baking time closely to prevent over-browning. For a golden crust, broil for last 1-2 minutes carefully. Add extra ranch or buffalo sauce if dip is too thick. Serve warm with celery sticks or tortilla chips.
