Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded chicken breast
  • 1 cup blended cottage cheese
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% fat)
  • ½ cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup sliced green onions, divided
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus more for topping if desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Position your oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). For a quicker, no-bake version, see notes for microwave instructions.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add shredded chicken, blended cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, Buffalo wing sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, ⅓ cup of sliced green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined to create a creamy dip mixture.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the Buffalo chicken dip mixture into an 8×8 inch baking pan. Use a spatula or large spoon to gently press and flatten the dip evenly in the pan to ensure uniform baking.
  4. Add Extra Cheese: If desired, sprinkle additional shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top of the dip for an extra cheesy crust once baked.
  5. Bake the Dip: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 27 minutes, or until the cheese on top is fully melted and the dip is hot and bubbling around the edges.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and sprinkle the remaining sliced green onions over the top. Serve warm with your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a microwave version, combine all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for about 3-5 minutes, stirring halfway, until hot and cheese is melted.
  • You can adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to control the heat level of the dip.
  • Using blended cottage cheese and Greek yogurt reduces fat and calories compared to traditional cream cheese-based dips.
  • Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
