Football season is here! When you think of tailgating and Super Bowl parties, what foods come to mind? To me, one of the first things I think of is buffalo chicken dip.

It’s incredibly delicious, packed with flavor, and filled with protein. All it takes is combining a few simple ingredients including chicken, cottage cheese, buffalo sauce, seasonings, and shredded cheese. Try it out yourself at your next tailgate or party!
High Protein Buffalo Chicken Dip
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 cups cottage cheese (I used Good Culture whole milk)
- 3/4 cup buffalo sauce (I used Primal Kitchen)
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning (I used Trader Joes)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- green onions or chives to garnish
- serve with: carrots, celery, or tortilla chips of choice (I used Siete chips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor. Blend until cottage cheese is smooth.
- Transfer cottage cheese to a large mixing bowl. Stir in cooked shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.
- NOTE: If you are not buying precooked chicken (i.e. rotisserie chicken), I recommend cooking it in a crockpot. Check out our Easy Crockpot Chicken recipe to learn more.
- Transfer the mixture to an 8×8 baking dish. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of dip. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from oven and top with green onions or chives (optional).
- Serve with: tortilla chips, crackers, carrots, celery, or your favorite side of choice
