Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and have the chicken shredded and cream cheese softened to ensure easy mixing.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl or stovetop-safe skillet, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese cubes, mozzarella cheese, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, crumbled blue cheese, and sliced green onions. Stir thoroughly until well blended.
- Heat the Dip: Place the skillet on medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the mixture is hot and cheeses are fully melted and combined.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving dish if desired, and top with additional blue cheese, green onions, or hot sauce for extra flavor. Serve warm with chips, celery sticks, or crackers.
Notes
- You can substitute the shredded cooked chicken with rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat cream cheese and whole milk Greek yogurt.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, add more hot sauce according to your taste.
- This dip can also be baked in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes until bubbly and hot.
- Slow cooker instructions: Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and heat on low for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for dipping.
