Ingredients:

– 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken (about 3 medium-sized chicken breasts)

– 1 cup buffalo wing sauce

– 1/2 cup ranch dressing

– 8 oz cream cheese, softened

– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

– 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

– 2 cups frozen tater tots or frozen hash browns

– 1/4 cup chopped green onions

– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce and mix until every piece of chicken is covered in sauce.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing until it’s smooth and creamy.

4. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture in an even layer on the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

5. Next, evenly distribute the saucy shredded chicken over the layer of cream cheese mixture in the baking dish.

6. Sprinkle both cheddar and blue cheeses evenly over the top of the shredded chicken. Add frozen tater tots or hash browns in one layer over the cheese.

7. Finally, spread the remaining cream cheese mixture across the top before baking it at 350°F (175°C). Cover it with aluminium foil at first, and let it bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the casserole is heated all through with a golden brown crust.

8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for around 5 to 10 minutes.

9. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro (optional) before serving.
