Full Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened (or use reduced fat cream cheese for a healthier option)

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

• ½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to your spice preference)

• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a reduced-fat version)

• ¼ cup ranch dressing (optional, can use light version)

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional garnish: sliced green onions or chopped parsley

Directions:

1. Prepare the crock-pot: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non stick cooking spray or lightly oil it.

2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

3. Cook: Transfer the mixture to the crock-pot and spread evenly. Cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours or until hot and bubbly, stirring occasionally.

4. Serve: Garnish with green onions or parsley if desired. Serve warm with celery sticks, carrot sticks, crackers, or tortilla chips.
