Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (whole milk or 2%)
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great; optional for vegetarian)
  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional, use light if desired)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese (optional, for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions or chives (for topping)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
  • Carrot sticks, for serving
  • Celery sticks, for serving
  • Bell pepper strips (red, yellow, or orange), for serving
  • Cucumber rounds, for serving
  • Other dippers: jicama sticks, snap peas, baked pita chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your chicken: If not using pre-cooked chicken, poach a small chicken breast (about 6 oz) in simmering water for 12-15 minutes, let cool, then shred. Or use rotisserie chicken.
  2. Mix the dip base: In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch each of salt and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in chicken: Add shredded chicken and gently fold until evenly distributed. For a chunkier dip, don’t overmix.
  4. Taste and adjust: Taste the dip and adjust heat with more buffalo sauce or tang with extra dressing or a splash of vinegar, if desired.
  5. Prepare veggie dippers: Wash and slice carrots, celery, bell peppers, and cucumbers. Pat dry.
  6. Top and garnish: Sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese, chopped green onions or chives, and parsley if desired.
  7. Chill or serve: Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes for best flavor.
  8. If dip is too thick, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk until scoopable. If too spicy, add more yogurt. Stir if separation occurs after chilling.
  9. Serve in a shallow bowl surrounded by veggie dippers.

Notes

For vegetarian, use white beans or jackfruit instead of chicken. For dairy-free, use coconut or cashew yogurt and vegan buffalo sauce. Adjust spice level to taste. Chill for 30 minutes for best flavor. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Not recommended for freezing.
