Description
A light, spicy, and creamy game day snack featuring shredded chicken mixed with Greek yogurt and buffalo sauce, stuffed into crisp celery stalks. Ready in just 15 minutes with no cooking required.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large bunch celery (about 12–14 thick stalks)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (280g)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120g)
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (60ml)
- 3 stalks green onion, finely chopped (30g)
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing (30ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (3g)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the celery thoroughly and trim off the bottom base. Separate each stalk and trim the top at an angle to create a boat shape. Scrape out tough inner fibers if necessary. Pat the celery completely dry with paper towels.
- Place the shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl. Use two forks to ensure the pieces are bite-sized and uniform.
- Add the Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning or spice level as desired.
- Use a small spoon to pack the chicken mixture into the natural grooves of the dried celery stalks.
- Arrange the stuffed celery boats on a platter. Serve immediately or refrigerate covered for up to a few hours before serving.
Notes
Ensure celery is completely dry before stuffing to prevent the filling from sliding off. For best flavor, chill the chicken mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes before stuffing. Store chicken mixture and celery separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; assemble just before serving to maintain crispness. This recipe does not freeze well.
