Instructions
- 1Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Coat an 8x10-inch or similar baking dish with nonstick spray (you can go all the way up to 9x13, the dip will just be thinner and heat more quickly).
- 2In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, yogurt, cottage cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Fold in the chicken, mozzarella, and ¼ cup of the green onions.
- 3Spread the dip in an even layer in the baking dish. Top with the cheddar.
- 4Bake the Buffalo chicken dip until hot and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool a few minutes, then serve with dippers of choice.
