What you'll need
- shredded chicken - use a rotisserie chicken or use our roasted chicken or boiled chicken breast recipes. These are great to have on hand for meal prep!
- light cottage cheese - the star of the recipe. This makes the dip super creamy and brings down the fat compared to other cottage cheese recipes.
- nonfat Greek yogurt
- light shredded cheese - Mix half into the dip and use the other half on top before baking. You can adjust the amount as needed. We used the Trader Joe's light Mexican shredded cheese.
- buffalo sauce - Frank's is a popular brand, we used Whole Foods brand (which was very good!) but we usually use Frank's.
- blue cheese (optional) - not necessary, but just a sprinkle adds a lot of flavor

Notes
- Start with a lesser amount of buffalo wing sauce, such as ¼ cup, and add more to taste. Some brands are way hotter than others. The macros factor in using ¼ cup of buffalo sauce.
