Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip

About This Recipe

This healthy Buffalo chicken dip recipe is lightened up thanks to the addition of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. So creamy and cheesy!

Ingredients

• 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (at room temperature or Neufchatel, do not use fat free)
• ⅔ cup Buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s)
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (I used nonfat)
• ½ cup small curd cottage cheese
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or additional mozzarella)
• 1 cup thinly sliced green onions (divided)
• Fritos scoops and celery sticks (for dipping)

Instructions

1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Coat an 8x10-inch or similar baking dish with nonstick spray (you can go all the way up to 9x13, the dip will just be thinner and heat more quickly).
2. In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, yogurt, cottage cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Fold in the chicken, mozzarella, and ¼ cup of the green onions.
3. Spread the dip in an even layer in the baking dish. Top with the cheddar.
4. Bake the Buffalo chicken dip until hot and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool a few minutes, then serve with dippers of choice.
