  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Chef's knife
  • 1 8x8 inch baking dish or similar size
  • 1 Rubber spatula
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 8 ounce low-fat cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon chopped green onions optional; for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Add the softened low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt to the mixing bowl and whisk or stir until smooth.
  • Stir in the buffalo wing hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt until fully combined.
  • Fold the shredded chicken into the mixture until evenly coated.
  • Stir in half of the mozzarella and half of the cheddar cheese.
  • Lightly grease the baking dish if desired, then spread the mixture evenly into the dish with the rubber spatula.
  • Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until hot and the edges are bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven and let the dip rest for 5 minutes to set slightly.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions if using, and serve warm with vegetables, baked chips, or whole-grain crackers.

Notes

For best results, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so it blends smoothly and doesn’t stay lumpy in the dip, and shred your own cheese if possible since it melts better than pre-shredded. Rotisserie chicken breast works well and saves time, but pat it dry so the dip doesn’t get watery. Adjust the buffalo sauce to your heat preference, adding more for a spicier dip or stirring in extra yogurt to cool it down. This dip reheats well in the oven or microwave; just stir before serving to bring back a creamy texture.
