Ingredients

  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp mayo
  • 1/3 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1/3 cup pepperoncini, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp pepperoncini juice (plus more if too thick)
  • 2 tsp ranch seasoning
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, mayo, pepperoncini juice, ranch seasoning, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the shredded chicken, celery, and diced pepperoncini. Fold everything together until well coated.
  • If the mixture looks too thick, add another splash of pepperoncini juice until creamy.
  • Taste and adjust, adding more pepperoncini juice for tang or more pepper for bite. Chill if you have time.
  • Serve with crackers or piled on toast.

Notes

  • Tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days
  • Stir in a splash more pepperoncini juice or Greek yogurt to loosen if it thickens.
  • For an even higher protein version, use all Greek yogurt in place of the mayo.
  • To shred the cooked chicken fast, use a hand mixer (my KitchenAid hand mixer is perfect). Do it in a deep bowl so the chicken does not fly everywhere, and be patient
