  • 1 cup 2% Greek yogurt

Notes

You can swap the rotisserie chicken for cooked skinless chicken breasts, or lightly coat the pan with cooking spray instead of extra oil for a lower-fat option.
For the best texture, make sure everything is well combined so the cream cheese fully melts into the sauce, giving that smooth, creamy consistency throughout.
