Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese full-fat, blended until smooth
- 1.5 cups cooked chicken breast finely shredded
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain, thick
- 0.33 cup buffalo-style hot sauce
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese sharp, freshly shredded
- 3 stalks green onions thinly sliced
Optional Topping

Instructions
Prepare the Dip Base
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Add the cottage cheese to a blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a large mixing bowl, then add the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, and buffalo-style hot sauce.
- Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated and well combined.
Bake and Finish
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 20–22 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with green onions and optional crushed corn chips.
Notes
- Blending the cottage cheese fully is essential for a smooth, creamy texture.
- Letting the dip rest briefly after baking helps it set and improves scoopability.
- Serve warm with chips, vegetables, or as a spread in wraps.
