Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo chicken dip on a table.

Game day is all about comfort food — but comfort doesn’t have to mean compromising on quality. This Buffalo Chicken Dip is crafted with pulled Force of Nature chicken , wholesome dairy, and just the right hit of hot sauce for that signature kick. Creamy, cheesy, and impossible to resist, it’s the high-protein, better-for-you upgrade your game day spread has been waiting for.

Ingredients (Serves 4–6 as an appetizer)

  • ½ Force of Nature Whole Chicken , roasted & shredded (~1½–2 cups pulled chicken)
  • 4 oz Greek yogurt (about ½ cup)
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for creaminess)
  • ¼ cup hot sauce (we love The New Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce)
  • ¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped green onion or chives (for garnish)
  • ½ cup of panko bread crumbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1. Roast the Chicken (if not already done):

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Roast chicken seasoned simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper until thickest part of breast reaches 165°F (about 45–55 minutes). Rest 10 minutes, then shred half the chicken into bite-sized pieces (save the other half for Chicken Salad).

  2. 2. Make the Base:

    In a mixing bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, cream cheese, mayonnaise (if using), and hot sauce until smooth.

  3. 3. Add Chicken & Cheese:

    Fold in shredded chicken, plus half the cheddar and mozzarella. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4. Bake:

    Transfer mixture to an oven-safe dish (8x8 works well). Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Optional: sprinkle half a cup of breadcrumbs on top of cheese before baking. Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, until bubbling and golden.

  5. 5. Finish & Serve:

    Garnish with green onions. Serve warm straight from the oven.
