  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup plain full fat Greek yogurt, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken breasts

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking, and set it aside.
  2. Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, sliced green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add chicken and cheese: Gently fold in the shredded chicken and half of the shredded cheeses using a rubber spatula to evenly incorporate them into the mixture.
  4. Assemble the dip: Pour the dip mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Bake the dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and bubbly.
  6. Broil for finish: For a crisp and golden cheesy top, switch your oven setting to broil and broil the dip for an additional 3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then garnish with extra sliced green onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips, carrot sticks, and celery for dipping.

Notes

  • Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
  • For a spicier version, add extra buffalo sauce or a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • You can substitute the full-fat Greek yogurt with sour cream if preferred.
  • Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken breasts to save prep time.
  • This dip can also be made ahead and refrigerated, then baked just before serving.
