Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 400 degrees. Grease an 8-inch baking dish or pie plate.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, and hot pepper sauce. This goes really easy in a stand mixer.
2 cup chicken (cooked and shredded), 8 oz cream cheese, 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded), 1 to 2 green onion, 2 tablespoon hot sauce
Spoon the chicken mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 15 minutes until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle cilantro over the top before serving with chips.
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
The dip can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to bake, up to 2 days.
