Lighter Buffalo Chicken Dip is guilt-free. Spicy and decadent, you won't be able to tell it's lighter than the original!
Today I’m sharing a couple of my favorite, lightened-up tailgating recipes to whip up for this weekend’s football game (no matter which team you’re rooting for!). First up, Lighter Buffalo Chicken Dip!
My mouth waters at the mere mention of buffalo chicken dip, but I’m usually dodging giant puddles of butter when digging in – blech. This recipe has NO butter, and is lightened up with Greek Yogurt. It’s sensational!!
There are some creamy dips that claim using carrots or celery as dippers is just as good as using chips – that’s a lie. However, this dip IS just as good with veggies as it is with chips, I promise!
Ingredients
- 6 oz low-fat whipped cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 6 oz plain greek yogurt
- 6 oz shredded chicken
- 10 Tablespoons Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce, divided
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1-1/2 Tablespoons Ranch Dip Mix
Directions
- To a large mixing bowl add cream cheese, Greek yogurt, shredded chicken, 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and ranch dip mix. Stir well to combine.
- Spread the mixture into an 8×8 glass dish then top with remaining mozzarella cheese and buffalo sauce. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees then serve warm.

I love the lightened up buffalo dip… I gotta try that out this weekend! :)
So funny, my husband just requested bacon wrapped dates for his b-day party this weekend! I might just have to make the buffalo chicken dip as well. Delicious.
Yes! I love both of those dishes…..I’m definitely making that Buffalo Chicken Dip this weekend!
I love bacon-wrapped dates. We stuff our dates with blue cheese before wrapping in bacon – amazing!
OMG! this is a definite try and keeper! – oooh – what about with black olives?
