# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or similar oven-safe dish. This prepares your vessel for the delicious High-Protein Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken Dip (No Cream Cheese), ensuring it doesn't stick.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups plain 0% fat Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
03 -
Gently fold in 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast into the Greek yogurt mixture. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce. This forms the hearty, protein-packed base of your High-Protein Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken Dip (No Cream Cheese).
04 -
Transfer the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top. This layer will melt into a golden, bubbly crust during baking, adding rich flavor.
05 -
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the High-Protein Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken Dip (No Cream Cheese) is hot, bubbly around the edges, and the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
06 -
Remove the dip from the oven. Immediately sprinkle with 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese and 1/4 cup sliced green onions for garnish. Serve warm with your favorite dippers for a satisfying snack or appetizer.
# Notes:
01 -
For convenience, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Alternatively, boil or bake 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and shred them with two forks or a stand mixer.
02 -
Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
03 -
This dip is fantastic with celery sticks, carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, pita chips, tortilla chips, or even as a topping for baked potatoes or wraps.
04 -
Adjust the amount of buffalo hot sauce to your preference. For extra heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper. For a milder dip, reduce the buffalo sauce slightly and add a tablespoon of milk or water.
