Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk or spoon
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Chef's knife
  • 1 8x8-inch baking dish (or similar size)
  • 1 measuring cup set
  • 1 measuring spoon set
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat or 2%
  • 4 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Add Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, and Buffalo hot sauce to a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
  • Fold in the shredded chicken until it is fully coated with the sauce mixture.
  • Add cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and blue cheese (if using) to the bowl and mix until evenly distributed.
  • Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly around the edges and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and let the dip rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Sprinkle chopped chives or green onions over the top before serving.
  • Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or crusty bread.

Notes

For best results, use well-drained, finely shredded chicken so the dip doesn’t become watery, and ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps when mixing with the Greek yogurt. Adjust the Buffalo sauce amount to match your heat preference, or add a pinch of cayenne if you like it extra spicy. You can assemble the dip a day ahead, cover, and refrigerate, then bake just before serving, adding 5–10 minutes to the bake time if starting from cold. If you prefer a browned, bubbly top, switch to broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.
