This is such a good dish to have on hand. I’ve recently been trying to find healthier option foods and this is definitely a new fav—people not looking for healthier options will love this too! I did half greek yogurt half sour cream since I’m not a huge fan of greek yogurt, or even yogurt in general. I couldn’t even tell it was in there so next time I’ll try full greek yogurt. I put it in a carb wise wrap and also used jalapeño tortilla chips for dip—so amazing! The color is a bit pink looking so some may think it “looks gross” but tastes wonderful. I also added green onions for color and flavor.

I’ve only ever made it using cream cheese! Greek yogurt sounds so much lighter. I won’t feel any guilt eating the whole thing myself. Can’t wait to try it!

So easy! So good! First time we made this was super bowl Sunday and we were hooked! Great to dip anything in! Even better the next day. I actually enjoyed it cold (I LOVE leftovers) better. The yogurt sauce and franks is dynamite. The next day we turned our dip into a chicken salad sandwich/wrap. YUM!

You can! I would just cook the chicken alone in the oven with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. 375ºF for 25ish minutes. Once the chicken is done you can shred it and mix it with the rest of the ingredients <3
