Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese (small curd works best for blending)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or nonfat)
  • 1/3–1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust for heat level)
  • 1 packet or 2 tbsp dry ranch seasoning (or 1/4 cup ranch dressing in a pinch)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or poached)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, for extra tang)
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onion (plus more for garnish)
  • 1–2 tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar (brightens the flavor)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray for the baking dish
  • Dippers: celery sticks, carrot sticks, cucumber slices, tortilla chips, pretzel thins, or toasted pita

Instructions
 

  • Preheat: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • Blend the base: In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and season: Add a pinch of salt and pepper if needed. If you want more heat, add more buffalo sauce.
  • Fold it together: In a bowl, mix the blended sauce with shredded chicken, half the cheddar, half the blue cheese (if using), and green onion.
  • Assemble: Spread the mixture into the baking dish. Top with remaining cheddar and blue cheese.
  • Bake: Cook for 18–22 minutes, until hot and bubbling around the edges and the cheese is melted.
  • Finish and serve: Let it rest 5 minutes. Garnish with extra green onion. Serve warm with your favorite dippers.
