Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 cups (0.47 liters) shredded cooked chicken
Dairy Components:
- ¾ cup (177 milliliters) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) crumbled blue cheese
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) buffalo sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375F (190C) and coating an 8×8-inch baking vessel with a light layer of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Create a creamy base by whisking Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate shredded chicken and cheddar cheese into the sauce, gently folding to ensure even distribution of ingredients throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the blended dip into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a smooth surface that will cook uniformly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for the top to become golden and slightly bubbly, indicating the dip is heated through and the cheese has melted completely.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dip to rest for 5 minutes, which helps it set and makes serving easier.
- Garnish with optional toppings like chopped green onions or additional hot sauce, and serve warm with crisp vegetable sticks, tortilla chips, or toasted bread for dipping.
Notes
- Opt for full-fat Greek yogurt to ensure a creamy, rich texture that mimics traditional buffalo chicken dip.
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken for quick and easy shredding with minimal effort.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting buffalo sauce quantity – start with less and add more to suit personal spice preferences.
- Prepare this dip ahead of time by assembling and refrigerating up to 24 hours before baking, which allows flavors to meld beautifully.
