Notes

[‘Use room temperature cream cheese for easier blending and a smooth base.’, ‘Freshly shred chicken for better texture and flavor absorption.’, ‘Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control heat level.’, ‘Even layering helps keep the dip balanced and prevents heaviness.’, ‘Bake for 20-25 minutes to avoid drying out the dip.’, ‘Let dip rest for 5 minutes after baking for easier scooping.’, ‘Can be prepared ahead and baked fresh before serving.’, ‘For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and sour cream with coconut-based alternatives.’, ‘Vegetarian option: substitute chicken with shredded jackfruit or cauliflower tossed in buffalo sauce.’, ‘Low-carb option: use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and serve with cucumber slices or cheese crisps.’]
