- 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: celery sticks carrot sticks, or whole-grain crackers for serving
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
Mix Creamy Ingredients
- In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add Chicken and Buffalo Sauce
- Add shredded chicken and buffalo sauce to the mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
Fold in Cheddar Cheese
- Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently, keeping the mixture thick and creamy.
Transfer to Baking Dish
- Spoon the mixture into the greased baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Top with Remaining Cheese
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top for a bubbly, cheesy finish.
Bake Until Hot
- Place in the oven for 15–20 minutes. The top should be slightly golden, and the dip should be hot throughout.
Garnish and Serve
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped green onions. Serve immediately with veggies or crackers.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save prep time.
- Add extra buffalo sauce if you like more heat.
- Swap cheddar cheese with mozzarella for a milder flavor.
- Mix in chopped bell peppers or corn for extra texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and cheese.
