Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, scallion whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, shred the Cheddar on the large holes of a box grater. Cut the mozzarella into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch cubes and set both cheeses aside.
- Once the onions have softened, add the chipotle chiles and adobo sauce to the saucepan and stir until the onions are evenly coated and the adobo sauce is heated through, about 1 minute. Add the milk and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the saucepan. Add the hot sauce, cream cheese, Cheddar and mozzarella and cook, stirring continuously, until all the cheese has melted and the hot sauce has thoroughly combined, about 4 minutes. Gently fold in the chicken.
- Transfer the dip to a heatproof serving bowl and top with the reserved scallion greens and the crispy fried onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips.

SPICY CHICKEN DIP
I came up with this dip when I was in the mood for Buffalo chicken dip, but didn't have the necessary ingredients. It is a creamy cheesy dip with a nice bit of back-end heat. I don't usually measure when I cook, so feel free to adjust any measurements to fit your taste. We ate this with sliced french bread, pretzels, and chips.

SPICY CHICKEN CHEESE DIP
I had this at a party, and it was just too good. Feel free to add onion or chilves or other spices or leave out the hot pepper sauce...whatever floats your boat. The hot sauce isn't as spicy as it sounds. Serving size is estimated.
