What You Need for Cottage Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip

• Chicken: We’re using shredded chicken breasts for this dip, but have tested it with leftover rotisserie chicken and boneless chicken thighs, which are also delicious.
• Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt:The creaminess of this dip comes from the blended cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, which both add another boost of protein.
• Hot sauce: We’re using a whopping 1/4 cup of Franks Hot Sauce in this buffalo chicken dip.
• Toppings: Don’t skip the toppings! Shredded mozzarella, blue cheese crumbles and sliced green onions are the perfect complement to the spicy buffalo flavor of this dip.

Food processor:Using a food processor makes this recipe so creamy! All you have to do is dump your cottage cheese, Greek yogurt and hot sauce, and blend. If you don’t have access to a food processor, try using a high-speed blender instead.

Variations and Substitutions

Chicken: Shredded rotisserie chicken, leftover chicken, or chicken thighs can be used instead of the chicken breasts.

Reduce the spice: If you are sensitive to spice, add the honey to the cottage cheese when you add the hot sauce. It will balance out the spice.

Amp up the spice: Like it extra spicy? Increase the hot sauce from 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup.

Top Tips

Don’t rush blending the cottage cheese: Be sure you blend the cottage cheese for 4-5 minutes; it helps to prevent curdling when heating the buffalo chicken dip.

No food processor, no problem: If you don’t have a food processor, ablenderworks great too! Just make sure you scrape the sides of the blender so everything blends nicely.

Double or triple to serve a crowd:Because this cottage cheese buffalo chicken dip only calls for 1 lb. of shredded chicken, might we recommend doubling or tripling the batch to serve a crowd? Even if you only have 2 lbs. of chicken, you can easily double this dip.

Can I make this buffalo chicken dip recipe ahead of time?

Feel free to prep this dip the night before, baking it the next day. You’ll likely need to bake it a bit longer in order to get it fully warmed up.

You could also transfer it to a slow cooker on low heat to keep it warm for a longer period of time.

Storage

Store your leftover cottage cheese buffalo chicken dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
