Blue Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip

My crowd-pleasing Buffalo chicken dip with blue cheese is one of my favorite game day dips! I made a few simple swaps to make it a little bit lighter, healthier, and easier than the usual recipe. To keep both my ingredients list and my calorie count low, I make my Buffalo chicken dip recipe with shredded rotisserie chicken, Greek yogurt, light cream cheese, blue cheese crumbles, and hot sauce, and it bakes up in about 30 minutes!

Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip with Blue Cheese Crumbles

My Crockpot Buffalo chicken dip is one of my most popular game day recipes, but I always make room for this oven-baked version when I have more people to feed. Made with leftover chicken for convenience and lots of tangy blue cheese crumbles, this healthier buffalo chicken dip recipe still has my heart. It only takes 5 simple ingredients and a couple of spices from my cabinet to throw it together. While my dip is made with a few lighter ingredients, the end result still feels every bit as creamy and indulgent as any standard recipe!

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
  3 cups shredded cooked chicken, 8 ounces light cream cheese, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, ½ cup hot sauce, ⅓ cup crumbled blue cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder
  
• Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Top with extra blue cheese crumbles. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
  
• Serve with carrot sticks, celery sticks, pita chips, crackers, etc
  

Notes

*Use any cooked or leftover chicken–shredded, pulled, cubed, or diced. A rotisserie chicken from the store works great in a rush.

**You can use regular cream cheese if you prefer.

You can use blue cheese dressing instead of the Greek yogurt and blue cheese crumble combo if you prefer. Of course, this will increase the calorie count–but it will taste good!

Tips:

• If you love blue cheese, feel free to stir more than ⅓ cup into the dip!
• If you prefer a cold dip, simply combine ingredients and serve as is. As long as the chicken is pre-cooked, there’s no need to bake.
• Obviously I really like the flavor of blue cheese, but you can just as easily make this buffalo chicken wing dip without it. Replace it with feta or goat cheese crumbles, or skip them entirely. You can sprinkle shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or another cheese on top as well.

Make-Ahead: Combine the ingredients and place them in a baking dish, then cover it and keep it in the fridge for a few hours before a party. That way, it’s ready to go right into the oven as soon as guests show up!

Storage: Store buffalo chicken dip in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.

Note: Water, salt, pepper, oil, and broth are not counted as ingredients on this site.

What to Do with Leftovers

One of the things I love most about this Buffalo chicken dip is that it’s super versatile. The leftovers are great as a spread on sandwiches, a topping for Buffalo chicken pizza, or a filling for Buffalo chicken enchiladas, Buffalo chicken pinwheels, or stuffed Buffalo chicken breasts. Any way you use it, it adds a wonderful creamy and tangy flavor to your next meal!

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip with Shredded Chicken Step by Step

Mix the Dip: Preheat your oven to 375°F, spray an 8×10-inch (or 2-quart) baking dish with cooking spray, and set aside. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of leftover shredded cooked chicken (or store-bought rotisserie chicken), 8 ounces (1 brick) of room-temperature light cream cheese, 1 cup of room-temperature plain Greek yogurt, ½ cup of hot sauce, ⅓ cup of crumbled blue cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder until smooth.

Bake the Dip: Transfer the Buffalo chicken mixture to the greased baking dish, and spread it out into an even layer. Top the dip with extra blue cheese crumbles, if desired. Bake buffalo chicken dip in the oven for 20 minutes, or until fully warmed through.

Serve the Dip: Serve blue cheese Buffalo chicken dip with carrot sticks, celery sticks, pita chips, crackers, fresh breads, or your favorite dippers. I like to top my dip with sliced scallions for a pop of freshness.
