You know how people cheer when they see buffalo chicken dip arrive at a party? They’ll cheer even louder when they try this version, which delivers all of the flavor of the traditional with much less of the fat, sodium and calories. And it takes just minutes to pull together. The Neufchâtel cheese makes for a richer dip, but you can replace it with extra Greek yogurt if you want to make the dip even lighter.
