Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Mix the softened cheese, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper together in a large bowl until smooth.
Stir in the shredded chicken and scallions.
Transfer the dip to an 8x8-inch square baking dish, oval baking dish or round pie pan. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.
Bake 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and dip is bubbly. Remove from oven and garnish with crumbled blue cheese, scallions, and hot sauce, if desired. Serve with crackers, chip, celery and/or carrot sticks.

Notes

Adjust the amount of hot sauce depending on how spicy you want the dip.
The crumbled blue cheese on top is optional but I like it for the classic buffalo wings flavor.
This healthy buffalo chicken dip can be assembled up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge. It can also be stored in the freezer or up to 3 months. To freeze the dip, assemble it in a freezer-safe baking dish and cover it tightly with plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil. Store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Then, bake in the oven as per recipe instructions.
Once cooked, the best way to store any leftover dip is in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or oven until hot.
