Ingredients

  • 4 oz. reduced fat cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120g)
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 (4-oz.) can green chiles
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 cup Mexican shredded cheese (226g) divided
  • 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (400g) or LFF Shredded Chicken works great!
  • 3 green onions sliced, plus more for garnishing

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. 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).
  3. Then fold in the chicken and green onions.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, then broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and just starting to brown.
  6. 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.
