  • 2 cup shredded cooked chicken breast
  • 8 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce buffalo-style
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese sharp

  • Serve chilled with celery sticks, carrot sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers.

Notes

For best flavor, use well-seasoned cooked chicken (rotisserie works perfectly) and make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so the dip turns out silky rather than lumpy. You can prepare this dip up to a day in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator; in that case, give it a good stir before serving and refresh with a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of green onions. Adjust the heat level by increasing or decreasing the buffalo sauce or by adding a pinch of cayenne for extra kick. If the dip seems too thick after chilling, loosen it with a spoonful of yogurt or a splash of milk until you reach your preferred consistency, and always keep it chilled and out of the temperature danger zone for food safety during parties.
