Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, greek yogurt, salsa, green chiles, cumin and half of the cheese until combined (I used a hand mixer).
Then fold in the chicken and green onions.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, then broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and just starting to brown.
Sprinkle with more green onions (if desired) and serve with tortilla chips. Then enjoy!

Notes

To make dairy-free: use dairy-free cream cheese, dairy-free Greek yogurt and dairy-free shredded cheese.
Ways To Switch It Up:
Spice it up! Add some diced jalapenos or an extra can of hot chiles for an extra kick!
More carbs! Add a can of black beans or corn to the creamy base for even more Mexican flavor!
Switch up the sauce! Sub the salsa for enchilada sauce for a fun variation of this dip.
Extra herbs! Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for an additional flavor burst.
