Total Time:25 minutes
Yield:6 servings
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
¼ cup buffalo sauce
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
Optional Toppings
Chopped scallions or parsley for topping
Dippers
Celery sticks
Corn chips
Sliced bell peppers
Instructions
Blend cottage cheese: Blend the cottage cheese until it achieves a smooth consistency, ensuring a creamy base for the dip.
Mix ingredients: Transfer the smooth cottage cheese to a bowl, then add the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, plain Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined.
Heat the dip: Warm the mixture either in the microwave or oven until it is heated through and bubbly, which helps to meld the flavors together and melt the cheese slightly.
Add toppings and serve: Garnish with chopped scallions or parsley if desired, then serve immediately with celery sticks, corn chips, or sliced bell peppers for dipping.
Notes
For a spicier dip, add extra buffalo sauce to taste.
Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shredded chicken option.
To make it gluten-free, ensure ranch seasoning mix is gluten-free or substitute with homemade seasoning.
Heating in an oven at 350°F for 15 minutes can give a more evenly melted texture than microwave.
For a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of Greek yogurt used.
