Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded chicken breast
  • 1 cup blended cottage cheese
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2%)
  • ½ cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup sliced green onions, divided
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (plus more for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Position your oven rack to the middle and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). For microwave instructions, see notes below.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken breast, blended cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt, Buffalo wing sauce, minced garlic, black pepper to taste, one third of the green onions, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix everything together until well combined and evenly mixed.
  3. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the mixture to a baking pan. Use a spatula or large spoon to gently press and flatten the dip, ensuring an even layer for baking.
  4. Add Topping: Sprinkle additional shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top of the dip if desired for extra cheesiness and golden finish.
  5. Bake the Dip: Bake in the preheated oven for 22-27 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and the dip is bubbling around the edges.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven, sprinkle remaining green onions on top for freshness and garnish. Serve warm with your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • Microwave Instructions: To prepare in the microwave, place the mixed dip in a microwave-safe dish and heat on high for 5-7 minutes or until the dip is hot and cheese is melted, stirring halfway through.
  • Use low-fat or non-fat Greek yogurt to reduce calories further.
  • Adjust Buffalo wing sauce amount to control spiciness according to preference.
  • Substitute green onions with chives or thinly sliced scallions for similar flavor.
  • Make the dip ahead of time and refrigerate, then bake or microwave before serving.
