Cottage Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe

Bethany Galloway
This buffalo chicken dip with cottage cheese is creamy, spicy, and packed with protein. It’s a high-protein version of the classic game day appetizer—perfect for dipping veggies, crackers, or tortilla chips. The combo of shredded chicken, cottage cheese, and buffalo sauce brings bold flavor and a satisfying texture without being too heavy.

  • Pour the chicken mixture into the baking dish, smoothing over the top.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and it's bubbly and golden.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Blend it well: Make sure the cottage cheese mixture is fully smooth—no chunks!
  • Adjust spice levels: Add more buffalo sauce or a pinch of cayenne for extra heat.
  • Make ahead: Prep the dip and refrigerate, then bake right before serving.
  • Add-ins: Stir in chopped bell pepper, jalapeños, or even spinach for a twist.
  • Separation: A quick stir brings it right back together. Still delicious!
 

Storage instructions

  • Refrigerate: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat: Warm in the microwave or oven until hot—stir midway if needed.
  • Freeze: It freezes okay, but the texture may be slightly different once reheated.
  • Stir before serving: Give it a mix if it looks separated after storing.
