Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 8 ounces cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce more or less to taste
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • ½ packet ranch seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

Oven Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray the baking dish with coconut oil spray.  Combine Greek yogurt and cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth.
    ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 8 ounces cottage cheese
  • Add the cheese mixture and remaining ingredients to the prepared baking dish.
    ¼ cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce, 2 cups cooked shredded chicken, ½ packet ranch seasoning, 1 cup shredded cheese
  • Transfer the dip mixture to an 8X8 Pyrex, pie plate, cast iron, or casserole dish.
  • Bake the dip at 350F for 20-25 minutes or until the top is bubbly.  Place it under the broiler for a minute to crisp the top (but be sure to watch it closely!) Top with green onions or snipped chives if desired.

Slow Cooker & Crock Pot Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to the slow cooker pot.  Cook on low for 2-3 hours or until bubbly.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Can be made ahead up to 1 day in advance and baked the day of.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes or more or until heated through.
  • Creamier Texture: Opt for full fat cream cheese over low fat cream cheese or Neufchatel and plain full fat Greek yogurt for a an even more thick and creamy texture.
  • Spice preferences: For a more mild version, reduce the amount of Frank's Red Hot Sauce to ¼ of a cup or two tablespoons. Increase the amount of hot sauce for a spicy version.
  • Type of chicken to use: Although I recommend shredded chicken you can really use any leftover chicken you have for this recipe - even grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken, canned or cooked.

Serving Tips

  • Low carb and healthy dippers: Sturdy and crunchy veggies like celery and cucumbers are great keto and low carb dippers while carrots are the perfect healthy things to eat with this recipe.
  • Healthy chips for dipping: Tortilla chips are my go-to for dips and these Siete tortilla chips are my favorite healthy chips for dipping into this dip.
  • Toppings: top with blue cheese crumbles, a drizzle of ranch dressing or bacon bits.
  • Mix-ins: Make with ranch by mixing in a ranch packet or some bbq sauce for a different flavor.
  • In a wrap or on a sandwich: Substitute pesto chicken for this healthy buffalo chicken dip in this wrap for an easy and healthy lunch.
