Buffalo Chicken Dip Without Cream Cheese
You won't miss the cream cheese in this healthier Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe full of flavor from Frank's hot sauce, ranch dressing, sharp cheddar cheese, and shredded chicken!
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken ((rotisserie chicken or canned both work well))
- 1/2 cup Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 clove garlic (minced (or 1 tsp store-bought minced garlic))
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tbsp green onion (chopped)
- 2 tbsp crumbled blue cheese
For Serving
- Tortilla Chips
- Carrot Sticks
- Celery Sticks
- Cucumber Slices
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange oven rack to the middle of the oven.
- In a large mixing bowl (using a hand mixer or electric mixer) or using a food processor, combine shredded chicken, Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce, ranch dressing, plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella cheese, garlic, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
- Pour buffalo chicken dip into an oven-safe baking or casserole dish (8" or similar) and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and dip is bubbly.
- Remove from oven and top with chopped green onion (or chives), crumbled blue cheese. Sometimes I add a pinch of paprika and black pepper for garnish on top, but this is totally optional.
- Serve buffalo chicken dip with tortilla chips, toast rounds, veggies like carrot sticks, celery, cucumber slices.
Notes
- For more heat, drizzle on extra hot sauce on top before serving.
- For less heat, reduce hot sauce to 1/3 cup.
- Store leftover buffalo chicken dip, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make in a slow cooker instead of the oven, add all ingredients (except blue cheese and green onion) to slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or LOW for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Once bubbly and hot, top with blue cheese and green onions. Serve and enjoy!
