Weight Watchers Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe

Weight Watchers Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe

Buffalo chicken dip will always be BAE. It's my favorite party food, and I choose to eat it as an entree instead of a dip to be "shared." Yeah right. It's cheese, hot sauce, more cheese, and it is typically eaten with my favorite carbs (any).

Unlike your aunt's buffalo chicken dip, this is very point friendly. It allows me to eat this as an entree at parties. For only 3 WW SP, you get a full half cup. That's a lot of dip!

Look, it's not easy to photograph beautiful buffalo chicken dip. I promise you though, it is tasty as heck.

Normalize Eating Party Food with No Parties

I eat buffalo chicken dip more often than the average person. I love it. It is so simple to make, and it makes an awesome, high protein meal prep. Buffalo chicken dip microwaves like a dream, it freezes well, and I honestly don't get tired of it.

You can tell this is a candid based on the classy background of dirty dishes and me using the leftover birthday party paper plate.

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are the easiest meal prep you'll ever make.

If I need a no fuss meal prep, I bake some sweet potatoes, make some buffalo chicken dip, and reheat my sweet potatoes and buffalo chicken dip in the microwave for lunch. It may sound like a weird combination, but it works so well and I swear by this ugly, orange meal prep.

How to Make Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken Dip

You can shred chicken by hand, but using a stand mixer cuts the time down significantly.

If you want your buffalo chicken dip to taste good, you need to start with delicious chicken. Don't go boiling chicken with no seasoning or using canned chicken. I am always so sad when a certain relative claims buffalo chicken dip as the things she's bringing to a party (pre-Covid) and she uses her canned chicken. If you don't know how to cook chicken that tastes good, buy my ebook--it'll change your life.

I always start with 1/4 cup buffalo sauce and go from there.

This buffalo chicken dip is using ranch powder, greek yogurt, cream cheese, and part skim mozzarella. It is not using a whole bottle of ranch like my non-WW friendly version calls for. That being said, the hot sauce hits a little differently so go light at first. You can always add, but can't take away. Of course, you can add my zero point ranch in my ebook, but that's fore another time and shameless plug.

Doesn't it just scream healthy?

How A Weight Watchers Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe Makes Sense.

You may see that picture of a whole brick of cream cheese on top of a pile of mozzarella and think that this can't be the healthiest, but you'd be surprised. First, I'm using 1/3 fat cream cheese--not out of "healthiness" but because it spreads way better than full fat. Second, the Greek yogurt does a good job making this creamy without ruining it by tasting like Greek yogurt. The ranch, hot sauce, and two cheeses balance out the tang of the yogurt--I swear.

Again, this ain't the prettiest, but it is tasty.

When you think about it, this is actually mostly made of protein. Chicken, Greek yogurt, and cheese are all great sources of protein. 1/2 cup of this has the same amount of protein and 7 grams less fat than 3 eggs. You think about that next time you're looking at a hard boiled egg.

What healthy things can I dip into buffalo chicken dip?

You do you, but I'm not going to pretend I don't eat this with a spoon hot or cold.

My go-to at a party is to eat half a full sized baguette with my buffalo chicken dip. When I am working on my wellness journey, I usually pair this with carrots, celery, or just fewer pieces of bread. As I said earlier, this works insanely well with a baked sweet potato.

Truthfully, I just microwave this and eat it with a spoon or put it on a low point roll. You do you. No one is judging you for your after school snacks, especially when they are guilt-free.

Alternatively, they make amazing egg rolls. 3 TBSP in an egg roll wrapper, sprayed with cooking spray and air fried at 390 for 9 minutes. *chef kiss*
