Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and barbeque sauce. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Add the shredded barbequed chicken to the bowl and stir to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce mixture.
Fold in the diced red bell pepper, celery, red onion, and chopped cilantro to incorporate the vegetables into the spread.
Add the fresh lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning, if needed, by adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a spread for crackers, bread, or as a filling for sandwiches and wraps. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped cilantro before serving.
