This is every bit as good as the full fat versions. We loved it! The only change I made was to omit the green onions as I didn't have any on hand. Thanks for the recipe!

I love buffalo chicken dip but it was my first time doing it. It's even better than the one I bought that was probably fatter than this one. It tastes so good. I used buttermilk ranch dressing from Renee (I chose the one that has less calories). I used chicken breasts that we cooked on the bbq (no marinade, just plain). I used part-skim cheddar cheese. And I topped with green onions at the end like you said. I served it with tostitos. But tomorrow I may try with celery. Great idea. But it was too late to wash and cut celery. I cut too many veggies today LOL Thanks SarahBeth :) Made for Photo tag

This dip would be great for a football party! I must admit, I did use full fat cheese and I stirred the green onions in with the rest of the ingredients. It was very good. Served with whole grain Tostitos and celery sticks. Thank you for the recipe. Made for Went to the Market tag game.
