Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F to prepare for baking the dip.
Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, hot sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add chicken and cheeses: Fold in the shredded chicken, shredded mozzarella, and blue cheese if using, ensuring all ingredients are evenly combined.
Prepare to bake: Spread the mixture evenly into a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet for consistent cooking.
Bake the dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the dip is hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
Garnish and serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve warm with sliced vegetables, whole grain crackers, or tortilla chips.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute with dairy-free cream cheese, yogurt, and cheese alternatives.
The dip can also be prepared in a slow cooker on low heat for 2 to 3 hours if preferred.
Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the amount of hot sauce to suit your taste.
