# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or similar oven-safe dish. Ensure your 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. This initial step sets the stage for your delicious High-Protein Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken Dip.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups non-fat plain Greek yogurt, 8 oz softened reduced-fat cream cheese, and 1/2 cup light ranch dressing. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and well combined, creating the creamy foundation for your dip.
03 -
Add 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded, to the creamy base. Stir in 3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce and 1 tbsp hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot Original). Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spicy flavors.
04 -
Incorporate 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce into the chicken mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to distribute all the seasonings, enhancing the depth of your High-Protein Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken Dip.
05 -
Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
06 -
Remove the High-Protein Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken Dip from the oven. Garnish with 1/4 cup finely diced celery and 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving warm with your favorite dippers.
# Notes:
01 -
For a milder dip, reduce the amount of buffalo wing sauce and hot sauce. You can also swap blue cheese for shredded mozzarella or cheddar if preferred.
02 -
Serve this dip with celery sticks, carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, whole wheat pita bread, or baked tortilla chips for a balanced and satisfying snack or appetizer.
03 -
Cook and shred your chicken breast ahead of time to significantly reduce prep time on the day you plan to make the dip.
04 -
Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
