Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (skinless, boneless)
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot, no sugar added)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese
    Using a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth. This step helps create a creamy texture without added fat.
  3. Prepare the Mixture
    In a mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
  4. Add Chicken
    Fold in the shredded chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
  5. Transfer to a Baking Dish
    Pour the mixture into an oven-safe dish or skillet. Spread it out evenly.
  6. Optional Toppings
    Sprinkle a small amount of crumbled blue cheese or more shredded cheddar on top if desired.
  7. Bake
    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and slightly golden on top.
  8. Garnish and Serve
    Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm.
