Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken rotisserie or baked
  • 1 cup cottage cheese blended until smooth
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce adjust for spice level
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles optional
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions for garnish
  • Celery sticks, carrot sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: If using rotisserie chicken, remove and discard the skin, then shred the meat using two forks until you have about 2 cups. For fresh chicken, season 2 large breasts with salt and pepper, bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F, then let cool slightly before shredding.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese: Add cottage cheese to blender or food processor and blend for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth with no visible curds. Stir in Greek yogurt until well combined.
  3. Mix Dip Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, blended cottage cheese mixture, Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Bake for Warm Dip: Preheat oven to 375°F. Transfer mixture to greased baking dish, spread evenly, and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly around edges, golden brown throughout, and cheese is melted and golden.
  5. Serve: Remove from oven and immediately garnish with green onions and blue cheese crumbles if using. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving. For cold version, refrigerate mixed dip for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in microwave or oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
  • Can be prepared a day in advance.
  • Adjust Buffalo sauce to taste preference.
