Ingredients
8ouncescream cheeseroom temperature
1cupranch dipstore-bought ranch dip or dressing works as well

6ounces Monterrey jack or Pepper Jack cheese, freshly shredded
2tablespoonsfresh cilantro, chopped small
2green onions, sliced thin
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth. (This should only take a minute or so.)
Add the ranch dip and stir again. Add the sriracha, starting with just a couple of teaspoons and tasting before adding more.
Add the chicken and about 2/3 of the shredded cheese. Stir to combine and then transfer to a small baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and top.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until bubbling and slightly browned around the edges. Let cool a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with cilantro and onions. Serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
