1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Preparation:
1. Cook the Chicken: Begin by poaching your chicken breasts in a pot of salted water until they are cooked through. This gentle cooking method ensures tender, juicy meat.
2. Create the Base: While the chicken cools, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the Frank’s RedHot Sauce until well combined.
3. Blend the Flavors: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, blue cheese crumbles, and ranch dressing. Beat until smooth and creamy.
4. Incorporate the Chicken: Once the chicken has cooled, shred it into bite-sized pieces. Add the shredded chicken to the cream cheese mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
5. Add the Spicy Sauce: Gradually pour the hot sauce mixture into the bowl, stirring constantly to incorporate the flavors.
6. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving dish and sprinkle with green onions and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers.
