This recipe was a huge hit at the studio. We ate it for lunch with crackers, carrots, and celery and decided we needed to make it again and eat it as a wrap!
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.
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.
Our Favorite
Blender
Looking to upgrade your blender? Check out our favorite Vitamix Blender. It’s our favorite high-speed blender perfect for making smoothies, soups, and nut butter.
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, a blender works 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.
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.
Store your leftover cottage cheese buffalo chicken dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
