Ingredients
Scale
Dairy & Dairy Alternatives
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 8 oz cottage cheese
- 1 cup freshly shredded cheese (such as cheddar or a blend)
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
Proteins
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
Condiments & Seasonings
- 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce (adjust for heat preference)
- 1/2 packet ranch seasoning

Fresh Herbs & Garnishes
- 3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley (for freshness)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or prepare a slow cooker if you prefer using one.
- Mix Dairy Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. Use a mixer or whisk to blend until the mixture is completely smooth, creating a creamy base for the dip.
- Incorporate Flavors: Stir in the Buffalo sauce, shredded chicken, and ranch seasoning to the smooth dairy mixture. Mix thoroughly so all ingredients are well combined, ensuring an even flavor throughout.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the freshly shredded cheese and garlic powder. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed for your preferred spice level.
- Transfer and Cook: Transfer the mixture into your greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Alternatively, pour into a slow cooker if using one.
- Baking or Slow Cooking: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the dip is bubbly and heated through. If using a slow cooker, heat on low for 1-2 hours until thoroughly warmed.
- Garnish and Serve: Let the dip cool for a few minutes after cooking. Sprinkle the chopped green onions, crumbled blue cheese, and chopped parsley over the top for added freshness and richness. Serve with vegetable sticks or chips.
