Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 1 pound)
- 1 (8 ounce) block reduced-fat cream cheese, softened and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups shredded part-skim Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup hot sauce (preferably Frank's)
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/2 cup thinly-sliced green onions
Optional Garnishes
- Extra blue cheese
- Extra green onions
- Additional hot sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened reduced-fat cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, and hot sauce. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended to create a creamy, spicy base.
- Add chicken and cheeses: Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, shredded Mozzarella cheese, crumbled blue cheese, and thinly sliced green onions. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Cook the dip: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese has melted.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and optionally sprinkle with extra blue cheese, green onions, or a drizzle of hot sauce for added flavor. Serve warm with chips, celery, or crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Use cooked, shredded chicken to save time—rotisserie chicken works well.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your spice preference.
- For a smoother texture, beat the cream cheese well before mixing with other ingredients.
- This dip can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Serve with a variety of dippers like tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers.
