- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, ½ cup buffalo sauce, ¼ cup Creamy Ranch Dressing, cheddar, and chives. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
- Season both sides of each chicken breast with salt and pepper
- Use a sharp knife to carefully cut a pocket lengthwise in each chicken breast.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the filling. You may want to secure with toothpicks depending on how much filling you use.
