Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Use cooked chicken breast. Shred it finely using two forks. Smaller pieces mix better and feel smoother.
Soften the Cream Cheese
- Remove cream cheese from the fridge early. Soft cream cheese mixes easily and avoids lumps.
Mix Yogurt and Cream Cheese
- Add Greek yogurt and cream cheese to a bowl. Mix until smooth, creamy and well blended.
Add Buffalo Sauce
- Pour buffalo sauce into the bowl. Stir gently until the color looks even.
Season the Base
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix well to spread flavor evenly.
Add the Chicken
- Add shredded chicken to the bowl. Stir until chicken is fully coated with sauce.
Add Cheese
- Fold in mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Save some cheese for topping later.
Prepare Baking Dish
- Spray a baking dish lightly with cooking spray. This prevents sticking during baking.
Transfer the Mixture
- Spoon the dip into the baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula.
Add Cheese Topping
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top. This adds a golden, melted finish.
Bake the Dip
- Bake at 180°C for twenty minutes. The dip should bubble around the edges.
Rest Before Serving
- Remove from oven and rest for five minutes. This helps the dip set nicely.
Serve Warm
- Serve warm with vegetables or crackers. Enjoy the creamy and spicy flavor.
