Lightened-Up Buffalo Chicken Dip

This lightened-up buffalo chicken dip is so delicious, it does not taste lightened-up whatsoever. Whether you are serving this as an appetizer for a crowd or making it for meal prep, this one is sure to please. Cooked shredded chicken breast, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, buffalo sauce, scallions and ranch flavor this decadent-tasting dip. I recommend serving this delicious dip with carrots, chips, crackers, or mini pitas for dipping. You can also put this delicious dip on a wrap or bread to make a sandwich. Any way you slice it, this recipe is a crowd pleaser, and you’d never expect it to be a lighter recipe.

Equipment

mixing bowl
baking dish

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts cooked, shredded finely
16 oz reduced fat cottage cheese I used the Good Culture Brand, 2%
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
2 tsp ranch seasoning
3 scallions chopped
1 oz reduced fat cheddar cheese shredded; I used the Cabot 50 brand

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.
Shred the chicken breast finely; I love using my stand mixer for this to get the chicken as finely shredded as possible, perfect for a dip like this.
To a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, cottage cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning, and chopped scallions.
Pour this mixture into a casserole dish, and top with the shredded cheddar.
Pop the baking dish into the oven, and bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly and firm up before portioning out. It will be runny and liquid, but it makes for a deliciously creamy dip.
