Description
A healthy and high-protein version of classic buffalo chicken dip, perfect for game day or snacking without the guilt. Made with Greek yogurt, shredded chicken, and hot sauce for a creamy, spicy, and satisfying dip.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cream cheese, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and half of the mozzarella cheese.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and crumbled blue cheese, if using.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and slightly golden on top.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve warm with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or whole grain crackers.
Notes
- You can use canned chicken, rotisserie chicken, or freshly cooked chicken.
- For extra protein, increase the amount of Greek yogurt or add a scoop of unflavored protein powder.
- Skip the blue cheese for a lighter flavor and lower fat content.
- This dip can be made ahead and reheated when ready to serve.
