  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast

  • Add the Greek yogurt, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and buffalo sauce. Beat until smooth and well combined.
    1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Add the shredded chicken and 1 cup of cheddar cheese and stir until evenly incorporated.
    2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
  • Transfer the mixture to an 8x8" square baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese has melted. Garnish with sliced green onions, serve and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Pro tip: Make sure the cream cheese is completely softened before beating it, and use room-temperature Greek yogurt if possible. This helps the ingredients blend smoothly and creates a creamier dip.
  2. Use full-fat or 2% plain Greek yogurt for a richer, creamier texture.
  3. Adjust the buffalo sauce to suit your preferred heat level.
  4. Freshly grated cheddar melts best.
  5. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave in short intervals, stirring as needed. For larger portions, cover and warm in a 325°F oven until heated through.
