Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F to prepare for baking the dip post pressure cooking.
  • Sauté diced onion and minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  • In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, sautéed onions and garlic, Franks hot sauce, black pepper, cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt until creamy.
  • Transfer mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top if desired.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and hot, and cheese is melted and slightly browned.
  • Remove from oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with paprika.
  • Serve warm and enjoy the spicy, tangy, creamy dip with your favorite chips or veggies.

Notes

Let the dip cool a bit after baking to help the flavors settle. This also makes leftovers easier to store. Skip the baking step to enjoy it as a buffalo chicken salad through the week!
