Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or 1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)
  • Tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced veggies (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
  3. Remove chicken from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, then dice into bite-sized pieces. Toss with lemon juice and zest.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  5. In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), shredded cheddar, and blue cheese if using. Mix until smooth.
  6. Fold the diced chicken and buffalo sauce into the cheese mixture until evenly coated.
  7. Transfer mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden on top.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle with diced celery, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley or cilantro.
  10. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggies.

Notes

Do not overcook the chicken to keep it tender. Use softened cream cheese for smooth mixing. Adjust buffalo sauce heat to taste. Rest chicken before dicing to retain juiciness. For extra cheesy top, sprinkle cheddar before baking. Can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternatives. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days; reheat in oven covered with foil.
