Thank you The Foodie Physician

1 package (8 ounces) Neufchatel cheese, softened

1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt

1/3 cup Frank’s Hot Sauce (add more to taste)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

8 ounces shredded, cooked chicken breast (about 2 ½ cups)

½ cup sliced scallions plus extra for garnish

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional: shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese or crumbled reduced fat blue cheese

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 
• Mix the softened cheese and yogurt together in a large bowl until smooth.  
• Stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, chicken, scallions and pepper.
• Pour the dip into a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly.  
• If desired, you can top the dish with cheese.  If using shredded cheese, sprinkle the cheese on top before baking.  If using crumbled blue cheese, sprinkle the blue cheese on top as soon as you remove the dip from the oven.
