Equipment

Mixing bowl
8x8 baking dish

Ingredients

2½ cups rotisserie chicken pulled and shredded
¾ cup mild buffalo wing sauce *I used mild but go with your spice preference- if you are using regular Franks Red Hot, you'll only need about ½ cup
1 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
½ cup small curd cottage cheese I used Good Culture
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese *optional-leave out if you're not a blue cheese fan
6 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded from the block, divided
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick spray (I used avocado oil).
Mix the shredded chicken, wing sauce, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, garlic powder, blue cheese (if using), and half of the shredded cheddar cheese in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the mixture into an 8x8 baking dish and top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with green onions and serve with celery, carrots, and tortilla chips (or your favorite dipping chips or crackers).

Notes

- Blend for smoothness – If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend the cottage cheese mixture before adding the chicken and other ingredients.

- Adjust the spice level – To ensure the perfect heat level, use extra mild, medium, or hot buffalo sauce, or a blend of heat levels. You can also add a dash of hot sauce, cayenne pepper, or red pepper flakes to turn up the heat. If you are using anything other than mild wing sauce, start with 1/2 cup and adjust accordingly to taste. You won't need as much of the hot wing sauce.
