1 cup Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce
2 (8-ounce) packages 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup light ranch dressing
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
-
Combine Chicken and Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, mix the drained chicken with Buffalo wing sauce. Heat until warmed through.
