A creamy, spicy, high-protein buffalo chicken dip that satisfies cravings without derailing your healthy goals. Perfect for game day, meal prep, or a cozy night in.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (rotisserie or baked)
  • ¾ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup light cream cheese (softened)
  • ¼ cup hot buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • ⅓ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, light blue cheese crumbles
  • Optional dippers: celery sticks, sliced bell pepper, whole wheat crackers, baked tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish or line with parchment.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning until smooth.
  3. Fold in shredded chicken and mozzarella until evenly combined.
  4. Transfer mixture into prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbling and lightly browned on top.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions or light blue cheese crumbles. Serve warm with veggies or whole grain crackers.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Stick to the ratios to balance spice and creaminess. Great for meal prep — store leftovers in ramekins for grab-and-go snacks.
