Description

A high-protein twist on the classic buffalo chicken dip, made with cottage cheese and Greek yogurt for a creamy, healthier appetizer that’s perfect for game days or parties.


Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cottage cheese
  • 8 ounces plain Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup buffalo hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 pound rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3 ounces blue cheese crumbles


Instructions

  1. Set your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until the base is silky and creamy.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the blended sauce, lemon zest, and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Top with the remaining half cup of cheddar and the blue cheese crumbles.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes or until the dip is bubbling and the cheese on top has melted perfectly. Garnish with scallions if desired before serving.

Notes

  • This dip is best served warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers.
  • For a spicier version, add more buffalo sauce to taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
