Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing. I love using my hand mixer for this step; it makes the cream cheese super fluffy and easy to mix. Once blended, fold in the cooked chicken, Pepper-Jack cheese, garlic powder, paprika, green onions, and cayenne pepper if you’re feeling adventurous with some heat. You want everything to blend harmoniously! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
