Ingredients
  

  • 3 cup rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 2 tbsp Kinder's The Blend Seasoning No Kinder’s? Use instead: 1 tsp garlic powder + 1 tsp onion powder + ¾ tsp salt + ½ tsp black pepper — combined to replicate the blend
  • 6 tbsp Kinder's Buttery Buffalo Sauce No Kinder’s? Use instead: ¼ cup Frank's RedHot original + 2 Tbsp melted butter + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar — combined to replicate the blend
  • 11/2 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat for best creaminess
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded plus extra for topping
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Celery sticks or crackers, for dipping

Equipment

  • 6 microwave-safe bowls or containers
  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Divide the shredded rotisserie chicken evenly between 6 microwave-safe bowls — about ½ cup per bowl.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Kinder's The Blend Seasoning, Kinder's Buttery Buffalo Sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Spoon the sauce mixture evenly over each bowl of chicken and mix to combine in each individual bowl.
  4. Top each bowl with a little extra shredded cheddar and sliced green onions.
  5. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. When ready, microwave for 1 minute, stir, and eat immediately with celery sticks or crackers.

Notes

  • Shred the rotisserie chicken while it's still warm. It pulls apart in seconds. Cold chicken fights back — you'll end up cutting instead of shredding, and the texture of the buffalo chicken cheese dip goes chunky instead of fluffy.
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt, no exceptions. Low-fat and non-fat split when microwaved, leaving you with watery buffalo soup. Full-fat has enough milk fat to stay emulsified through the reheat.
  • Dial the heat. 4 Tbsp buffalo sauce for mild, 6 Tbsp for the default (what's written), up to 8 Tbsp for a real kick. Want the full wing treatment instead? Move to Seasoned & Sauced Buttery Buffalo Wings. Taste the sauce base before portioning — it's much easier to adjust in the mixing bowl than in six individual cups.
  • For a richer buffalo chicken cheese dip, stir 2 oz of softened cream cheese into the yogurt base. You'll lose some of the protein-per-calorie edge but gain a denser, more classic-dip mouthfeel — or go full comfort-food and try Buttery Buffalo Mac N Cheese instead.
  • Hold the toppings until serving. The cheddar and green onion on top are for the day you eat it — not for Sunday prep. They'll stay brighter and the cheese will melt into the hot dip instead of getting rubbery in the fridge.
  • Stir right after microwaving. The sauce can look separated for the first few seconds out of the microwave. One quick stir pulls it back together.
Serving Suggestions
  • Celery and carrot spears are the default — they're cold, they crunch, and they cut the heat of the buffalo chicken cheese dip. Pita chips, tortilla chips, or pretzel thins work if you want a heartier scoop. Rice cakes turn it into a high-protein afternoon snack that doesn't feel like a compromise.
  • For a party format, combine everything in a 9x9 baking dish, top with extra cheese, and bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes until the edges bubble. Surround with crackers, celery, and green onions and serve warm — it's the same buffalo chicken cheese dip, just scaled for a crowd. For a loaded appetizer-format sibling on the same Buttery Buffalo flavor line, see Buttery Buffalo Potato Skins.
  • Eat it as a meal: scoop the buffalo chicken cheese dip onto a bed of butter lettuce, add a handful of diced tomato, and call it lunch. For a full low-carb lunch format, Buttery Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Boats takes the same flavor into a wrap. Or swap the dip for the classic pairing: Buttery Buffalo Wings with Ranch Dip.
Storage & Reheating
  • Keep the prepped buffalo chicken cheese dip bowls covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. They don't need anything fancy — a flat lid or a sheet of plastic wrap is enough.
  • To reheat, microwave one bowl for 60 seconds, stir, then add 30-second bursts if it's not hot through. Stir each time — the sauce separates slightly during heating and a quick mix brings it back.
  • Skip the freezer. Greek yogurt turns grainy after thawing and you'll never get the texture back.
