Ingredients:

Cottage Cheese: Packed with 26 grams of protein per cup and only 5 grams of fat. Yes please! I like it blended for this recipe to avoid chunks in the dip, but you can skip that step if you don't mind them. *Nutrition facts are based off the 2% Daisy Cottage Cheese, which blends really well.

Franks Buffalo Wing Sauce: A must have for this recipe. You won't get a similar taste unless you make your own wing sauce.

Rotisserie Chicken: Saves a ton of time in the kitchen. I only use one breast and remove the skin. Feel free to dice or shred depending on your preference.

Step 5: Transfer into a 8x10 or 8x8 casserole dish. Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and broil for 3-5 minutes until bubbly.

Step 6: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Top with blue cheese and green onion. Serve with tortilla chips, carrots, celery and/or crackers. Enjoy!

Expert Tips:

The cottage cheese needs to be blended if you don't want a chunky texture. The clumps won't just melt in the oven.
Shred the Monterey Jack cheese from a block for the best melt. Bagged cheese has anti-caking agents in them that don't melt well.
Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for 1-2 hours for easier stirring and better blending.
