BBQ Chicken Dip

Make this delicious green onion dip using BBQ chicken, ranch seasonings, Greek yogurt and cheese. That is really all it takes. It is packed with protein and flavor!

If you know me, you know I LOVE a good greek yogurt dip. It is a great substitute for sour cream or mayo. Plus, if you do it right, you hardly even taste the yogurt. Some of my most popular dips are my greek yogurt buffalo chicken dip, zero point onion dip and fiesta corn dip.

• Add bacon, buffalo sauce or diced jalapeño

What You Need for BBQ Chicken Dip

What exactly do you need to make this dip?

• Plain, nonfat Greek Yogurt
• Shredded chicken
• BBQ sauce
• Ranch seasonings
• Shredded cheese
• Green onions

I typically have most of this stuff on hand, except for the chicken. I grabbed a rotisserie chicken and shredded about half of the white meat, without the skin.

You can also make your own chicken. Use about a quarter pound of skinless, boneless chicken breast. Bake those in the oven, on the stove, in the Instapot, whatever you prefer. Then just shred it up and add it to the rest of the ingredients. It’s okay if it’s cold or warm.

Trust me, you really cannot tell that there is yogurt in this. It is a great substitute for sour cream or mayo. Plus, if you do it right, you hardly even taste the yogurt. However, you can substitute a sour cream or a regular yogurt as well.

With the BBQ sauce, I choose to use a sugar free one. G Hughes is usually my go-to. However, you are more than welcome to use any of your favorite BBQ sauces. I want this recipe to be something you, enjoy and love, and that just speaks you.

For this green onion, BBQ chicken Ranch dip, I usually use a lower fat shredded cheese. However, you can use any cheese that you like. I have used cheddar, Mexican and Colby jack. All are great.

If you want to make this dip spicy, try adding some buffalo sauce or diced jalapeños. You can also add some bacon bits or diced up bacon as well.

How to Make BBQ Chicken Dip

Shred the chicken as finely as you can, until you get about a half cup.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. However, you can also add bacon bits, buffalo sauce or diced jalapeños, if you like it spicy. But, it is really good without all of that.

Store in the fridge for at least an hour, to allow the flavors to form together. However, if you are short on time, you can serve this immediately.

I usually serve this cold, with the shredded cheese just as shredded cheese. However, you can also dice up the shredded cheese, so it is not in such big pieces. You can also bake this in the oven for 20 minutes, at 350 degrees, if you want to serve it warm with a big more of a melted cheese.

I save some of the ingredients to use as a topping to make it pretty for my guests. But, I am very extra and have to do that haha!

what to do with leftover BBQ Chicken dip

Now, do you really think you are going to have leftovers!? I'm just kidding, this can make a lot of food and you might! Just store it in a sealable container in the fridge. You can eat it just like that, from the fridge, and it will be good for about four days. However, just keep an eye out for when you opened the yogurt, they are typically good for about 5 days after opening.

You can also make stuffed chicken breasts with the dip, just cut open the center of your chicken breast, stuff some of the dip inside and bake. This technique also works for stuffed peppers or stuffed zucchini boats. Give it a try!
