Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or finely chopped
- 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill or ranch seasoning powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese into a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed for about 30 to 60 seconds until the texture is completely smooth and no lumps remain. This creates the creamy “cheese sauce” base for your dip.
- Transfer the smooth cottage cheese into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the buffalo hot sauce, garlic powder, and ranch seasoning. Mix well until the color is a consistent orange hue and the spices are evenly distributed.
- Add the shredded chicken and half of the mozzarella cheese to the bowl. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until the chicken is thoroughly coated in the buffalo cheese mixture.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish or skillet. Spread it out evenly and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and bubbly. For a golden crust, you can broil it for the last 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with fresh green onions before serving.
