Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 143kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken 240g, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese 120g
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt 120g
- 1/4 cup reduced fat cream cheese 60g
- 1/4 cup Frank's RedHot buffalo sauce 60g
- 1/2 cup cheddar or jack cheese 56g, grated and divided
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 cup green onions 16g, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉.
- If you don’t like cottage cheese curds, blend the cottage cheese first for a smooth consistency! I love the curds so I skip this step.
- Combine everything together in a bowl, with the exception of half of the grated cheese. Spread it into a shallow baking dish or cast iron skillet. Top with the remaining grated cheese and bake for 25 minutes or until browned and bubbly. If needed, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes for more color on top. Top with an extra pinch of green onions for garnish and a drizzle of buffalo sauce if you like!
- Serve your dip with chips, crackers, crostini, or veggies like celery and carrot coins!
Notes
GF/DF: This is not dairy-free. But if you want to try, I’d use dairy-free yogurt in place of the cottage cheese and yogurt (Forager plant-based sour cream is actually my favorite alternative.) Use dairy-free cream cheese in place of the cream cheese, and I’d probably just skip the grated cheese altogether unless you’ve found one you love!
