Description

This Vegetarian Buffalo Chicken Dip is a creamy, spicy, and flavorful appetizer perfect for game days or parties. Made with a meatless chicken alternative, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and a tangy buffalo wing sauce, it delivers all the classic buffalo chicken dip taste without any actual chicken. Topped with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and baked to bubbly perfection, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s both comforting and satisfying.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded meatless chicken (such as soy or pea protein-based)
  • 3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the dip evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Mix base ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and plain Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Add main components: Stir in the shredded meatless chicken, buffalo wing sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder into the cream cheese mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Transfer and spread: Pour the combined mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  5. Bake the dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the dip is hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly to thicken a bit. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
  7. Serve warm: Serve the dip warm with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

  • Add a splash of ranch dressing or blue cheese crumbles if you want extra flavor and are not avoiding dairy.
  • This dip makes a perfect appetizer for parties, game days, or casual gatherings.
