Method

  1. Boil a large pot of water.

  2. Add chicken to the boiling water, cover, and reduce heat to medium.

  3. Simmer the chicken until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, approximately 10 minutes.

  4. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken to ensure it reaches a minimum temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  5. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and shred it when it has cooled enough to handle.

  6. In a saucepan set over low heat, combine ranch dressing and sour cream.

  7. Stir and heat the mixture until it becomes warm, which usually takes about 5 minutes.

  8. Add hot sauce and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese to the saucepan, followed by the shredded chicken.

  9. Transfer the mixture to an 8-inch round baking dish.

  10. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese on top of the mixture in the baking dish.

  11. Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let it cool for 1 to 2 hours.

  12. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  13. Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and place it in the preheated oven.

  14. Bake the dip until the cheese is bubbly, which typically takes 20 to 30 minutes.

  15. Allow the dip to cool slightly before serving.
