Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup hot sauce
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
Garnishes
- Blue cheese crumbles, for garnish
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the dip.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the hot sauce, shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, ¾ cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into a baking dish, smoothing the top as needed. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface.
- Bake the Dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 24 to 27 minutes, or until the cheese on top is fully melted and the dip is bubbly around the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven. Garnish with additional hot sauce if desired, blue cheese crumbles, and chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation. Serve warm with your choice of dipping snacks.
Notes
- Use cooked shredded chicken to save time; rotisserie chicken works well.
- For a milder dip, reduce the amount of hot sauce or use a less spicy variety.
- Greek yogurt provides creaminess and adds protein while keeping the dip healthier than traditional cream cheese versions.
- Adjust spices to taste, especially the garlic and onion powders.
- Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers for dipping.
- Can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat before serving.
