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.

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!
