Hello! How are you?
I’m not a super big football fan, but I’m down for any party involving snacks and TV! I’m going to a football party and wanted to bring some delicious guacamole. Buuuuut, my avocados aren’t ripe yet so I had to think fast and improvise. (I was just asked to bring fruit but I’m feeling like an overachiever today.)
I love buffalos and I love dip so I thought a Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe would be perfect.
I made a healthy version and called it skinny so it would go with my margarita of choice 
This dip is bulked up with some beans for extra fiber, protein and texture. I used pinto, but kidney or black beans would work too.
Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe
{high protein, high fiber, gluten free}
Ingredients:
-
2.5 cups of shredded chicken breast
-
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
-
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
-
1 can beans, rinsed & drained
-
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
-
optional: 1/4 cup diced green onion
Directions: Mix chicken, sauce, yogurt and beans. Place in 8×8 glass baking dish sprayed with non-stick. Top with cheese and bake at 350 degrees until heated through. Add green onions to top and serve with chips or bread.
Enjoy!
I made this dip for my dad and he loved it too! Just don’t tell the guys it’s ‘skinny’ because you could never tell it’s a light version of a delicious dip.
Question: What are you snacking on today?

If you liked that dip, you should try this recipe – it is SO amazing. Also, this girl’s recipes are incredible. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/07/stuffed-buffalo-chicken-breasts.html
Nice race!
I wish I had seen this post sooner! My husband and I were BOTH craving buffalo chicken dip (note that I am the pregnant one here), but weren’t going to any parties. I did a really simple and fast one with canned chicken (unfortunately…but it wasn’t horrible), light cream cheese and low fat sour cream plus buffalo wing sauce. It worked for us and satisfied the craving! If I had TIME to make it, real chicken and those pinto beans would definitely be in it!
Hi Monica,
This looks delicious – I LOVE using greek yogurt in recipes, and this is such a great way to lighten things up without losing creaminess! Thanks for the great idea. We munched on these short rib nachos during the bowl today (http://cestsibonmd.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html)…considerably less healthy, but the superbowl is only once a year right?
I’m also new to bloglovin (https://www.bloglovin.com/blog/11667585/cest-si-bon-md)… I love to connect with fellow healthy food lovers. Hopefully we can exchange recipes!
Made “skinny” jalapeño popper dip! Greek yogurt, Neufchâtel, fresh jalapeños, sharp cheddar and some panko breadcrumbs for texture. Hopefully it turns out delicious!
Guacamole!! Lots and lots of it!
Im going to make a vegan version of this recipe, because it sounds delicious. I only had buffalo (cauliflower) ‘wings’ for the first time a year ago and fell in love!
We will at a Super Bowl Chili cook off! I am pumped! Your dip looks great!
I’m also infiltrating a super bowl party with a “healthy” dish. I’m making my healthier fudge recipe.
I need to try this! If it’s “skinny”, does that mean you can eat more? 🙂
Thanks for the great recipe. I don’t know anything about football but I do know about yummy food.
This dip looks awesome – I have been loving buffalo sauce lately 🙂 Enjoy!!
That looks delicious! I’m going to try and avoid snacking too much today 🙂
I haven’t even planned out what to have for the big game tonight – though this is looking very delicious and tempting!
chips, guacamole, and salsa!! 😀
I am snacking on NOTHING but fruits and veggies today! I’ve been on a pancake and bagel and cheese and cracker and red wine binge for a week straight. Well this sounded good. Let’s see if I can follow through? =)
This looks amazing. We’re not going to any parties tonight but I will definitely be making this dip!
I’m making a similar dip today too. I love adding the Greek yogurt and onions!
We went Mexican for the day with Margaritas, Steak Fajitas, and fresh guacamole on the side. So excited for game time!
We’re going to my boyfriend’s old boss’ super bowl party today – I’m always hoping for snacks with avocado! They’re supplying the food so I have no idea what there will be.
I’m going to be enjoying leftover chinese food after my long run this morning, that’s the only thing I know for sure! 🙂
