🥗Healthier: shredded rotisserie chicken

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Canned chicken is often more affordable and convenient.

Start with shredded chicken from a cooked rotisserie chicken or pressure-cooked chicken, about 2 packed cups.

In a pan, warm the shredded chicken over low heat for a few minutes.

Pour in 1/4 cup Frank's Red Hot and 1/4 cup Tabasco sauce, mixing well.

Cut the cream cheese into pieces and add it to the pan, using a fork to mash and mix until it melts.

Turn off the heat and add 1/4 cup ranch dressing and 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing, stirring to combine.

Add 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, taste, and adjust with more hot sauce if desired.

Pour the mixture into a baking dish, about a quart size, or a pie dish for easier scooping.

Sprinkle a little more cheddar cheese on top if desired.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Serve with crackers or lightly toasted Italian bread, and celery and carrot sticks on the side.
