Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 TBSP ranch dressing mix (about 1 packet)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
- 10 ounces cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch mix, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until smooth and creamy. This creates a flavorful base for your dip, with just the right balance of spice and creaminess. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed to suit your taste.
- Stir in your cheddar cheese (or whatever shredded cheese you prefer) and cooked chicken. If you're using leftover chicken, make sure it’s chopped or shredded chicken so it mixes well.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish and spread it out evenly. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
- Once baked, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven as necessary.
Notes
- Leftover rotisserie chicken works great here or even canned chicken.
- If you don’t like spicy foods, start small with the buffalo sauce and add more to taste.
