Cottage cheese is all the rage right now so I have been using it in a lot of recipes lately. My buffalo chicken dip is one of those recipes.

Buffalo chicken dip often gets a bad rep, but this healthy buffalo chicken dip is about to change that.

It still tastes absolutely amazing and is just a little bit lighter than regular buffalo chicken dip.

How to Make Cottage Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip

Now I will be the first to tell you that I am NOT a fan of cottage cheese by itself. It is just something about the chunks in it that gross me out.

I was convinced I wasn't going to like it. But, you know what? This stuff is THE BOMB!

For this recipe you will need —

Chicken
cottage cheese
ranch dressing
hot sauce
cheddar cheese

The toppings are optional. For mine, I like to add a drizzle of sour cream, some chives, and a sprinkle of feta cheese. You can totally leave those off.

Bake it at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. You can use whatever baking pan you have on hand. I like to use my cast iron skillet for things like this.

Once it comes out, add the toppings and dig in. It really is that simple!
