2. Add Cheeses and Dressing: Incorporate the softened cream cheese, Blue Cheese dressing, and 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Stir well, then reduce the heat slightly.
3. Melt and Serve: Continue to cook and stir until all the cheeses have melted into a smooth mixture. Serve directly from the skillet or transfer to a large dish.

Oven Method

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the hot sauce and mix well. Incorporate the chopped chicken, Blue Cheese dressing, and 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, mixing until well combined.
3. Bake: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and golden brown.
