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.

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.
