Notes

Expert Recipe Tips:

- Use chunk-style canned chicken for the best texture. Flaked chicken will work in a pinch, but chunk-style gives the dip a more appetizing, hearty look.

- Warm slowly to avoid separation. Heat the dip over medium-low heat so the cream cheese melts smoothly and doesn’t become grainy.

- Adjust the spice level to your taste. If you prefer it milder, use less buffalo sauce or mix in a little plain Greek yogurt. For extra heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.

- Add garnishes for extra flavor. Chopped green onions, a sprinkle of light shredded cheese, or even a drizzle of additional buffalo sauce make the dip look and taste even better.

- Keep it creamy with a splash of milk if needed. If the dip thickens too much while reheating, stir in a tablespoon or two of skim milk to loosen it up.

- Prep ahead for easy entertaining. You can mix everything together and refrigerate it, then just heat it on the stovetop right before serving.

- Serve with a variety of dippers. Pair with crunchy veggies for a low-point option, or add whole-grain crackers and pitas for guests who aren’t on WW.

- Make it a meal. Leftovers can be spread in a wrap, on toast, or stuffed into mini bell peppers for a quick and easy snack or lunch
