Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup 2% cottage cheese
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 chicken breast from store bought rotisserie chicken, skin removed and diced or shredded
- 1/2 cup Franks Buffalo Wing Sauce
- 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese (about 4 ounces), shredded from the block
- Optional toppings: 1/4 cup green onion, sliced thinly & 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
- Serving options: Crackers, Tortilla chips, celery and/or carrots
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Plop the cottage cheese into a food processor and blend on high, then pulse until smooth.
- In a large bowl, add in the softened cream cheese and smash down a bit with a spoon to make it even softer. Add in the cottage cheese and stir together. Note: It's ok if it looks a little chunky, but stir it the best you can.
- Add in the Franks Buffalo Wing Sauce, Shredded or Diced Chicken and half of the Monterey Jack Cheese.
- Stir well to combine.
- 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.
- 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!
Notes
- 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 have 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.
