Servings: 8
- 2 cups shredded chicken about 1 lb chicken
- ⅔ cup medium or hot buffalo sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt ranch dressing I like Bolthouse Farms
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste
- ¾ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ¾ cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded, dived
- Green onion for topping
- Celery for serving
- Carrots for serving
- Tortilla chips for serving
Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a baking dish with cooking spray. I used an 8x8 glass baking dish.
Blend together cottage cheese and ranch dressing until smooth in a food processor or blender.
Combine chicken, buffalo sauce, blended cottage cheese mixture, pepper, mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup cheddar cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and top with remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Broil for the last 1-2 minutes to brown up the cheese more, if desired.
Remove with oven, top with green onion and serve warm with celery, carrots and tortilla chips.
