Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cup cheddar
  • ½ cup Frank's RedHot Original Sauce

Instructions

  • First, preheat the oven to 390 °F / 200 °C.
  • Shred the cooked chicken into small pieces. It's important to shred the chicken thoroughly, as any large pieces will make the dip less dipable!
  • Combine the shredded chicken with Greek yogurt, cream cheese, Frank's RedHot sauce, and cheddar. If you want, you can leave out part of the cheddar to sprinkle on top of the dip, or you can mix it all together.
  • Place the dip in an oven proof baking dish. A 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan is perfect, but any size will work as long as the dip can fit!
  • Bake the dip in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until it's completely hot throughout and the cheese has melted.
  • Serve the healthy buffalo chicken dip while it's hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

Top tips

  • Make sure to pull or dice the chicken into very small pieces. Any larger chunks will make dipping awkward.
  • The dip is best served warm straight from the oven. If you allow it to cool down, the dip will firm up and be slightly more difficult to actually dip into. If this happens, you can use it as a spread!

Leftovers

Leftover buffalo chicken dip can be stored in a refrigerator for up to 2 days. I recommend reheating it in an oven at 390 °F / 200 °C for about 15 minutes to allow the cheese to melt again.
