How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip with Cottage Cheese

For complete instructions, please check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Add the cottage cheese, hot sauce, and seasonings to a blender and blend until smooth. If you’re using a lesser amount of hot sauce, you may need to add a tablespoon or two of water to help the sauce blend smoothly.

Add the chicken and sauce to a slow cooker, cook, and then shred the chicken and toss in the sauce once done.

Tips and Variations

• Extra cheesy – add 1/4 to 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese when you’re stirring the shredded chicken back into the sauce. This makes it even creamier and cheesier.
• Ranch style – add a tablespoon of ranch seasoning to the sauce, or top with a drizzle of ranch dressing when done.
• Different chicken cuts – you can also use chicken thighs here, too, if you prefer.
• Important note: immediately after cooking in the slow cooker, the sauce will look a little odd and separated. Once you shred the chicken and stir everything back together, it all reincorporates. But due to the lower fat nature of this recipe, you may experience some separation the longer it sits. Just give it a stir and you’re good to go!

Meal Prep: Storing & Reheating

Love adding this super light and high protein buffalo chicken dip to my meal prep lunch and snack rotations! I’ll either portion it into individual containers that I can reheat when the time comes, or store in one airtight container to just portion out what I need in the moment.

This buffalo chicken dip will last up to 3-4 days in the fridge in an airtight container.

Reheat in the microwave at 30 second intervals until warmed through, or in a small pot on the stove top. Note that especially on the stove top, you may need to add an additional splash or two of liquid to account for moisture lost during the reheating process.
