Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plant-based chicken substitute with the cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix until well blended.
Add 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture, along with the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the dip is bubbly and slightly browned on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve hot with tortilla chips, sliced vegetables, or crusty bread.
