Buffalo wings: two words that scream “cheat meal.”
But believe it or not, you can make a Buffalo wings-inspired dip so lean and clean that it can pass for a healthy snack!
In this skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe, shredded chicken breasts replace the fattier dark meat, and a combination of Neufchatel (look for it next to the cream cheese in the grocery store) and Greek yogurt give it the creaminess of a dip.
We added part-skim mozzarella to make this dip cheesy, but you could substitute part or all of that for more Greek yogurt to make yours even leaner.
Tangy hot sauce and a little bit of crumbled blue cheese create the familiar flavor of Buffalo chicken.
Combine everything and bake until bubbling; serve hot with raw veggies like celery sticks, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, or cucumber slices, and enjoy!
Pro tip: Put this Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip together quickly using leftover baked chicken breasts or shredded rotisserie chicken.
