Ingredients for cottage cheese chicken dip
You only need 4 ingredients to make this.
Shredded Chicken- Do yourself a favor, meal prep this one thing.You can use this across dishes- salads, soups,pastas, and wraps. I just slice the chicken and cook it with salt and pepper. You could also use rotisserie chicken.
I like to trim the shredded chicken strings a bit which makes it easier to scoop smaller bites of chicken on delicate stuff like chips and crackers.
Cottage cheese - If you haven't tried this one ingredient and you are on your health journey then you are missing out! It's easy to use, I add it to everything from pastas to toasts. It's high in protein and super creamy.
Cottage cheese and paneer are often referred to each other, at least in India. It's basically paneer that's not been strained all the way and pressed.
Buffalo sauce - I have used regular franks sauce.I love it.
Cheese- you want some melty cheese on top for that final oomph.This can actually be skipped if you arent into it or just don't have it on hand.
Why this recipe works
1. Quick to make.Only 4 ingredients.
2. High protein and tastes amazing.
How to make cottage cheese buffalo chicken dip
This is the kind of dip that hits like comfort food but fuels like a post-workout meal.Here is how to make it.
Step 1: Blend the cottage cheese
It starts with blended cottage cheese. I am obsessed with this one ingredient. Then comes the buffalo sauce: this is what adds all the drama. Honestly, you could stop here too. The sauce and cottage cheese together are just so so good!
Step 2: Assembly & Bake
But adding shredded chicken to it just amps up the protein further, plus it makes it a fuller meal. It’s all mixed together into one gloriously gooey, orange-hued masterpiece and baked until bubbly and golden on top.
Bake it until it's bubbling and golden.
Storage & meal prep
If you are making it for everyday snacking, you can portion the chicken- sauce and cottage cheese mixture into smaller bowls.Top it with cheese and store it in the refrigerator for 5-6 days.
Just microwave and enjoy with chips. You can also use this as a filling for wraps and sanwiches.
