A creamy, spicy, and protein-packed appetizer that uses cottage cheese to add smooth texture and extra protein, paired with buffalo sauce and shredded chicken for a flavorful, lighter twist on classic buffalo chicken dip.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese

1 cup cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust to taste)

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Optional: chopped green onions or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder until well mixed.
  3. Fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives if desired before serving.

Notes

This recipe serves about 6 to 8 people as an appetizer.

Optional variations include using blue cheese dressing instead of ranch, adding diced celery or carrots for crunch, or using spicier buffalo sauce for more heat.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in microwave or oven until warmed through.

Can be made a day ahead and refrigerated until baking.

Substitute cream cheese for cottage cheese for a richer texture but altered nutrition.
