Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (can use rotisserie chicken for convenience)

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette (for serving)

Instructions

Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Add Cheese: Fold in the sharp cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese, reserving a little bit of each for topping later.

Transfer Mixture: Spread the chicken mixture into a baking dish (an 8x8 inch or similar size works well).

Top It Off: Sprinkle the reserved cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the top of the dip for extra cheesy goodness.

Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.

Garnish: Remove the dip from the oven and sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top for a fresh, vibrant touch.

Serve: Allow the dip to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair it with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette for dipping.
