Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Fold in the shredded cooked chicken until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture into a greased 8-inch baking dish or small oven-safe skillet.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until hot and bubbly around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve warm with tortilla chips, celery, carrots, or crackers.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken, leftover baked chicken, or canned chicken for convenience.
For a milder dip, reduce the buffalo sauce to 1/2 cup.
For extra heat, add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños.
Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream if preferred.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
Keep the dip warm for serving in a slow cooker set to Warm.
