Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, drained)
  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken preferred)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (your choice of brand or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnishes & Optional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, chopped
  • Hot sauce (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken and Cheese: Shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces for even distribution in the dip. Drain the cottage cheese using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove excess liquid, ensuring the dip stays thick and creamy.
  2. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and velvety with an inviting orange hue from the buffalo sauce.
  3. Add Chicken and Cheese: Fold in the shredded chicken and grated cheese gently, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dip to create a gooey, cheesy texture with tender chicken chunks.
  4. Chill to Meld Flavors: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend and the dip to firm up, making it easier to scoop and more flavorful.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle chopped chives or green onions on top for a fresh, colorful garnish that brightens the flavor and appearance.

Notes

  • Drain cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid a watery dip.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and extra flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce gradually to control spice level.
  • Refrigerate dip before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature based on preference.
