  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese Shredded.

  • 2 tablespoons Butter For buttering the bagels.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding diced vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the chicken mixture. If you like it spicy, add some hot sauce to the ranch dressing. Experiment with different cheeses, like Monterey Jack or pepper jack, for a unique taste.
