  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

For Garnishing & Serving

Instructions

  • Shred the Chicken

    • If using rotisserie chicken, remove the skin and shred the meat with two forks.

  • Blend the Cottage Cheese

    • In a blender or food processor, puree the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
    • Stir in Greek yogurt to enhance the creamy texture.

  • Mix the Buffalo Sauce and Seasonings

    • In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, blended cottage cheese, Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
    • Stir until fully combined.

  • Bake or Serve Chilled

    • Baking Method (Warm Dip):
      1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
      2. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
      3. Bake for 15–20 minutes until hot and bubbly.
      4. Garnish with green onions and blue cheese crumbles before serving.
    • Chilled Method (Cold Dip):

Notes

  • Blend Cottage Cheese – Blending ensures a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Adjust Spice Level – Add more Buffalo sauce for extra heat or mix in a teaspoon of honey for balance.
  • Best Cheeses to Use – Cheddar for classic flavor, mozzarella for extra meltiness, and blue cheese for tang.
