Cottage Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip
servings
Cottage Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip is everyone’s favorite snack for game day and parties! Made with blended cottage cheese, buffalo sauce, and shredded chicken, no one will be able to resist this dip!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup Buffalo sauce
- 1-2 teaspoons water only if needed
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken I use a rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup freshly grated Pepper Jack cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- ⅓ cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F, and prepare a 9-inch pie plate or 1 1/2 qt. baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, combine the 1 cup of cottage cheese with the 1/3 cup Buffalo sauce, and blend until smooth. I find it easiest to use my immersion blender, but if using a regular blender, you may need to add a teaspoon or two of water to make sure it blends smoothly.
- Pour the contents into a large bowl, and add the 1 cup shredded chicken, 1 cup Pepper Jack cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning. Mix well so that everything is combined.
- Spread contents into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Top with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- If you don't mind the consistency of the cottage cheese or want to save time, you can mix the cottage cheese with the other ingredients without smoothing. However there may still be some lumps present after it's been baked.
- I highly recommend using freshly grated pepper jack and cheddar cheeses for this recipe as they will melt better than the packaged shredded cheeses.
