Hot Chicken Dip *Lauren Perry*

So let me tell you all about this dip that I had at Jeanette's the other night! It was fantastic. It is a recipe that is circulating around her group of friends, and I can see why. I tasted it and I about died with how addicting it was. I literally dreamed about it and salivated over it the next day. I asked Jeanette if I could post it on the recipe blog for her and she thought that was a great idea. So here it is! enjoy!

ingredients

2 (10 oz) cans of chunked chicken; drain
1 (8oz) pkg of cream cheese; softened
3/4 cup of ranch dressing
1/2 cup of pepper sauce (like Franks Red Hot)
1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

directions
heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat
stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing (melt)
mix in half of shredded cheese and transfer to a class baking dish
extra cheese on top

bake @ 350 for about 10 minutes
serve with tortilla chips, celery, or crackers

***If you want to make a healthier version of it use fat free cream cheese. Also- buy a ranch packet and low fat cottage cheese- blend these together with 1 tbs of olive oil and this makes an AMAZING substitute for ranch. Also, try to find low sodium canned chicken. It tastes the exact same and it is super low carb/high protein!
