Wow, this is yummy. Thanks for explaining in detail, I will definitely try this recipe.
This is such a good dish to have on hand. I’ve recently been trying to find healthier option foods and this is definitely a new fav—people not looking for healthier options will love this too! I did half greek yogurt half sour cream since I’m not a huge fan of greek yogurt, or even yogurt in general. I couldn’t even tell it was in there so next time I’ll try full greek yogurt. I put it in a carb wise wrap and also used jalapeño tortilla chips for dip—so amazing! The color is a bit pink looking so some may think it “looks gross” but tastes wonderful. I also added green onions for color and flavor.
So glad you love this!!
We used canned chicken and shredded it before combining everything and throwing it in a casserole dish. Baked in the oven for 20 ish minutes and ate on romaine leaves.. SO GOOD!
How much canned chicken did you use?
We used 1.5 lbs. of raw chicken!
Can you make this in an instant pot? If so, how?
I’ve only ever made it using cream cheese! Greek yogurt sounds so much lighter. I won’t feel any guilt eating the whole thing myself. Can’t wait to try it!
So easy! So good! First time we made this was super bowl Sunday and we were hooked! Great to dip anything in! Even better the next day. I actually enjoyed it cold (I LOVE leftovers) better. The yogurt sauce and franks is dynamite. The next day we turned our dip into a chicken salad sandwich/wrap. YUM!
Could I make this in the oven? If so, how long and at what temp would you recommend?
You can! I would just cook the chicken alone in the oven with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. 375ºF for 25ish minutes. Once the chicken is done you can shred it and mix it with the rest of the ingredients <3
