Make a creamy, high-protein version of classic Buffalo Chicken Dip using blended cottage cheese instead of cream cheese. This dip is easy to prepare and perfect for game days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce (medium heat)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  2. Place the cottage cheese into a food processor or high-speed blender. Process until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This step is important for texture.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, and the optional cream cheese. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese on top is melted and lightly browned.
  7. Serve immediately with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or tortilla chips.

Notes

  • For a thicker, richer dip, use full-fat cottage cheese.
  • If you do not have a blender, you can mash the cottage cheese very thoroughly with a fork, though the texture will be slightly less smooth.
  • This dip can be made ahead; assemble it completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
