Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

Protein

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

Flavorings & Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheese & Fresh Additions

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces, ensuring it’s tender and evenly pulled. Using rotisserie chicken is recommended for convenience and flavor.
  2. Blend the Base: In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy, ensuring a velvety texture without lumps.
  3. Mix in the Flavors: Add buffalo sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the creamy blend. Pulse or stir to evenly distribute the spicy goodness.
  4. Combine Chicken and Cheese: Fold in shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions gently to keep chicken pieces intact and ensure every bite is flavorful.
  5. Heat and Serve: For a warm and melty dip, transfer to a baking dish and heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese bubbles and dip is hot throughout. Alternatively, serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier, richer dip.
  • Adjust spiciness by adding more or less buffalo sauce according to heat preference.
  • Freshly shredded chicken provides the best flavor and texture.
  • Fold ingredients gently to maintain texture and distribution.
  • Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to meld flavors.
