Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounces) Neufchâtel cheese (reduced fat cream cheese), softened

- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

- Mix the softened cheese, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper together in a large bowl until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and scallions.
- Transfer the dip to an 8x8-inch square baking dish, oval baking dish or round pie pan. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and dip is bubbly. Remove from oven and garnish with crumbled blue cheese, scallions, and hot sauce, if desired. Serve with crackers, chip, celery and/or carrot sticks.

Notes
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce depending on how spicy you want the dip.
- The crumbled blue cheese on top is optional but I like it for the classic buffalo wings flavor.
- This healthy buffalo chicken dip can be assembled up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge. It can also be stored in the freezer or up to 3 months. To freeze the dip, assemble it in a freezer-safe baking dish and cover it tightly with plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil. Store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Then, bake in the oven as per recipe instructions.
- Once cooked, the best way to store any leftover dip is in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or oven until hot.
