Mix together melted butter, ranch seasoning, and minced garlic. Set aside.
Make the Buffalo Chicken Dip Filling
Combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, minced chives, and pepper in a bowl. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated. Transfer to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off.

Once out of the oven, brush on any remaining ranch garlic butter and garnish with fresh chives. Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Storage & Reheating
