Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F.
Spray an 8x8 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
(Optional) Add the cottage cheese and yogurt to a food processor and blend until smooth. (We prefer the dip to be smoother without the curds of cottage cheese, but completely optional.)
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (I use fat free), 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use non-fat)
In a large bowl, add all ingredients EXCEPT 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Mix well.
4 cups diced chicken breast (about 3 large chicken breasts), 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided, 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (I use Frank's RedHot buffalo wing sauce), 2 Tablespoon ranch seasoning mix, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (I use fat free)
Pour buffalo chicken dip mixture into greased pan. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes or until sides are bubbling and cheese in melted. You can broil for a couple minutes to brown the cheese on top.
Serve hot and store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator for a few days.
