Instructions
- In a skillet, cook the ground chicken (or use cooked shredded chicken) with the chopped onion. Season to your liking. Once cooked, add ½ cup buffalo sauce and stir to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, melted butter, ranch dressing, pepper, garlic powder, cream of chicken soup, 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce, shredded Colby jack cheese, frozen shredded hash browns, and the cooked ground chicken.
- Transfer the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle crushed plain potato chips evenly over the top of the casserole.

- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving and enjoy the creamy, spicy goodness!
Notes
- You can adjust the buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.
- For extra flavor, you can add chopped green onions or fresh cilantro on top after baking.
