Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 (12.5 oz) cans of white premium chunk chicken breast (or about 2 cups cooked shredded chicken)
  • 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ⅓ cup buffalo wing sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Add the canned chicken to a large mixing bowl and break apart any large chunks using a fork to ensure even texture.
  3. Blend Cottage Cheese: Place the cottage cheese into a blender and blend until smooth; if necessary, add a dash of water to achieve a creamy consistency.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the blended cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and buffalo sauce to the bowl with the chicken and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  5. Transfer and Bake: Grease a large baking dish and transfer the buffalo chicken dip mixture into it, then bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until hot and bubbly.
  6. Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with an additional drizzle of buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, and chopped green onions for extra flavor and presentation.
  7. Serve: Serve warm alongside tortilla chips and raw veggie sticks for dipping and enjoy this healthier take on a classic buffalo chicken dip.

Notes

  • You can substitute canned chicken with freshly cooked shredded chicken for a fresher taste.
  • If you prefer less spice, reduce the buffalo sauce amount or use a mild version.
  • For a smoother dip, ensure the cottage cheese is fully blended before mixing.
  • Garnishes like green onions add a fresh contrast but are optional based on personal taste.
  • Serve immediately after baking for best texture and flavor.
