Buffalo Chicken Dip

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. 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. Make the Base:
In a mixing bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, cream cheese, mayonnaise (if using), and hot sauce until smooth.
3. Add Chicken & Cheese:
Fold in shredded chicken, plus half the cheddar and mozzarella. Mix until well combined.
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. Finish & Serve:
Garnish with green onions. Serve warm straight from the oven.
