Notes
This is a tough recipe to make dairy free but you can cut back on the dairy by substituting a non-dairy cream cheese like Kite Hill's almond cream cheese and still have it taste great.
Using a high protein low fat Greek Yogurt really increases the nutrition of this yummy appetizer. If you eat a lot of this Buffalo Chicken Dip in the Oven Recipe with carrot and celery sticks, you might be able to avoid the potato chips! This guilt-free option is one of my game day favorites!
