Buffalo Chicken Dip

To poach chicken
11 Add the chicken to a heavy saucepan.
12 Cover with water or chicken stock. You can also add chunks of celery, onion, carrot, and/or garlic if you wish.
13 Bring to a boil over medium high heat then turn heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 10-15 minutes - or until the chicken registers 165F on an instant read thermometer.
1 Shred it and set aside. (Save the broth for soups, stews, and to cook vegetables in!)
To make dip

3 Sauté the onion in the same skillet until transparent.
4 Add the cream cheese, sauce, Ranch, and cheese to the pan.
5 Heat, stirring constantly,  until cheese is melted and ingredients are completely mixed together.
6 Spoon into serving dish and top with green onion and bleu cheese.
7 Serve warm with chips, celery, carrot sticks, cauliflower, soft tortillas, toasted baguette slices,  or even in sandwiches.
