Description
This buffalo chicken dip is great for your raw vegetables, crackers, or chips, tastes better than the original, and won't leave you feeling sick from all the cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, or ranch dressing. This dip is higher in protein, lower in fat and calories, and dead simple to make. With just 6 ingredients, including Simple Shredded Chicken, you can make a healthy and easy game day dip. The Super Bowl was a bit ago, so I'm kinda late, but whatever. Other great dips are Lightened Up Spinach Artichoke Dip and Low Fat French Onion Dip, which I highly recommend

Ingredients

Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 400F
- Directly in a 9" square baking dish, mix together Simple Shredded Chicken, hot sauce, yogurt, cottage cheese, oil, and 1 cup (113 g) shredded cheese. Top with your remaining 1/2 cup (56 g) shredded cheese
- Bake at 400F for 25 minutes (uncovered), or until lightly bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving
Notes
- For the chicken, I prefer to make my own Simple Shredded Chicken, since it's cheap and easy to do. You can also shred up a storebought rotisserie chicken, but those tend to be filled with a ton of additives that I'd prefer to avoid, but it's totally up to you
- I would normally use oil, but you can also use the leftover shmaltz (chicken fat) you rendered out from making the Simple Shredded Chicken for even more flavor
