Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the chicken – If using rotisserie chicken, shred it with two forks. If using fresh chicken, boil or bake until fully cooked, then shred.
3. Mix everything together – In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, diced jalapeños, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
4. Transfer to a baking dish – Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
5. Add toppings – Sprinkle extra cheese and sliced jalapeños on top.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly. If you like a crispy top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and top with more crispy bacon.
8. Serve hot with celery sticks, pork rinds, or keto-friendly crackers.

- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
