Notes

  • Use a rotisserie chicken to make things super simple and easy
  • You can use regular cheddar instead of a Mexican blend
  • make sure to grate your own cheese as pre-grated as added starch and will change the texture and flavor of this dip
  • Use a good quality cream cheese for best results (cheaper brands can be too runny)
  • I used a light ranch dressing but you can use regular if you don't have it
  • Don't sub the ranch dressing for dry ranch seasoning (important)
  • Go for low fat and lighter versions of cheese, cream cheese and ranch if you'd like to make this whole dip lighter
