Simple, Delicious, Buffalo Chicken Dip

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese.

Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth (can be done by hand if no mixer is available).

Add 1/2 cup ranch dressing and 1/2 cup buffalo sauce to the bowl.

Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika.

Mix everything together until smooth, noting it may look lumpy at first.

Add 2 cups of shredded chicken (preferably from a rotisserie chicken).

Add 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese (preferably freshly grated).

Add 2 thinly sliced green onions.

Use a spatula to stir everything together until completely combined.

Spread the mixture evenly into a baking dish (can use a cast iron pan, 8x8 baking dish, or pie plate).

Sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup of cheese over the top.

Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until bubbly.

Optionally, sprinkle more thinly sliced green onions on top before serving.
