Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 2/3 cup hot wing sauce
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

For Serving

  • Green onions for garnish
  • Carrots, celery sticks, and tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, hot wing sauce, nonfat Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch seasoning mix until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
  3. Transfer Mixture: Spread the combined mixture evenly into an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish, smoothing the top for uniform baking.
  4. Sprinkle Cheese (Optional): If a cheesier crust is desired, sprinkle additional shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve warm with fresh carrot sticks, celery, and tortilla chips for dipping.
