Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.

- Sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat for 3 minutes until softened.
- Whisk together the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
