Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended for best texture)

Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a substantial baking dish, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, half of the cheddar cheese, all of the Monterey Jack cheese, and buffalo sauce.
- Thoroughly mix all ingredients until well incorporated.
- Evenly spread the mixture in the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and the dip is gently bubbling around the edges.
- For an optional finishing touch, garnish with fresh sliced green onions and a drizzle of additional buffalo sauce before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best texture.
- This dip is best served warm with chips, veggies, or crackers.
