Immediately after removing from the oven, top each chicken breast with about 1/3 cup of the Skinny Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip, spreading it so that the entire breast is covered. The dip should thin out as it is warmed. But if you want a thinner sauce, you can also whisk in a tablespoon or two of milk into the dip beforehand to thin.
