This Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip is a quick and delicious appetizer featuring shredded chicken, reduced-fat cheeses, Greek yogurt-based ranch, and Frank’s RedHot sauce. It’s a lighter take on a classic party favorite, combining creamy, spicy, and crunchy textures perfect for dipping with chips or veggies.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups shredded boneless, skinless chicken breast (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel cheese)
  • 6 tablespoons Greek yogurt-based ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup diced sweet onion

Optional Garnish

  • Thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Greek yogurt-based ranch dressing, and Frank’s RedHot sauce until well combined. This can also be done directly in your serving dish for convenience.
  2. Initial Microwaving: Microwave the mixture on full power for 1 minute. Remove and stir well to ensure even heating and ingredient incorporation.
  3. Finish Microwaving: Microwave the dip again for about 1 1/2 minutes, or until the cheddar cheese is fully melted and the dip is hot throughout. Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance wattage.
  4. Incorporate Crunchy Vegetables: Stir the hot dip once more to create a smooth consistency, then gently fold in the diced celery and sweet onion. Adding these at the end keeps them crisp and fresh; alternatively, you can mix them in earlier for a softer texture.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Serve the dip immediately, optionally garnished with thinly sliced green onions for a fresh, mild onion flavor and a pop of color.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor.
  • Greek yogurt-based ranch dressing reduces fat content while keeping tangy flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
  • Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or whole grain crackers for a healthy dipping option.
  • This dip is best enjoyed warm but can be reheated gently.
