Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce until smooth. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, along with most of the thinly sliced green onions.
  2. Gently fold in the cooked shredded chicken into the creamy mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated.
  3. Spoon the creamy mixture into an air fryer-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the air fryer and cook for 8 to 12 minutes until hot and bubbly.
  5. Remove the dish from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with remaining green onions and crumbled blue cheese before serving.
