This Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken Dip is a healthier twist on the classic Buffalo chicken dip. It’s creamy, spicy, and full of flavor, but without the usual cream cheese. Instead, Greek yogurt takes center stage to give the dip a rich, tangy texture while keeping it lighter and healthier.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat)

1/2 cup Buffalo sauce

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking chicken, if needed)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: If you haven’t already cooked the chicken, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and cook until fully cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side). Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks.
  2. Combine the dip ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, Buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, blue cheese crumbles (if using), and ranch seasoning. Stir until everything is well combined.
  3. Heat the dip: Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly. If you prefer to skip the oven, you can microwave it in intervals, stirring between, until heated through.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Serve with your favorite dipping options, such as tortilla chips, veggies, or crackers.

Notes

  • This dip is naturally gluten-free as long as the Buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning mix are gluten-free.
  • If you don’t have ranch seasoning, you can substitute with dry onion soup mix or a blend of dried herbs.
  • You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • If you want to make it spicier, add extra hot sauce or cayenne pepper.
  • You can freeze the dip before baking for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight and bake when ready to serve.
