    Kelley Simmons Kelley’s Tips

    Before You Get Started

    • Blend until smooth. Blend up the cottage cheese, sour cream, buffalo sauce, and seasonings long enough to get rid of any lumps for an ultra creamy dip.
    • Broil at the end. A quick 1–2 minutes under the broiler makes the topping golden and bubbly!
    • Serve it hot or cold. This dip is best enjoyed warm right out of the oven however my husband and I were eating leftovers cold on salads or straight out of the container!

    Ingredients

    • Cottage Cheese – The secret to a creamy, protein-packed base without the heaviness of cream cheese. The cottage cheese adds so much protein! You would never know this was made with cottage cheese instead of cream cheese.
    • Buffalo Sauce – Brings that signature tangy heat that makes this dip absolutely irresistible. Add more or less depending on how spicy you would like it! My 5 year old was able to eat the dip so it wasn’t overly spicy.
    • Seasonings – Garlic powder, onion powder and dried dill are added.
    • Shredded Chicken – Adds heartiness and soaks up the spicy, creamy sauce. You can use rotisserie chicken in a pinch! The fastest way to shred up chicken is my instant pot shredded chicken method! You can even cook it from frozen in the instant pot.
    • Sharp Cheddar Cheese – Melted over the top of the dip for a flavorful ooey, gooey topping!
    • For Serving – Blue cheese crumbles, extra buffalo sauce, and green onions are added before serving. You could even do a drizzle of homemade ranch dressing on top.

        1. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the dip looks bubbly. I like to broil mine after for 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese a bit more.
        2. Serve with chips, veggies, crackers, or bread for dipping! Enjoy!

          Frequently Asked Questions

          Can I use cream cheese instead of cottage cheese?

          Yes! You can swap out the cottage cheese for an equal amount of softened cream cheese if you prefer a richer, more traditional dip.

          Can I make it ahead of time?

          Yes! Assemble the dip up to a day in advance, cover, and refrigerate it. When you’re ready to serve, bake it until hot and bubbly and enjoy with your dippers of choice.
