If you love classic buffalo chicken dip but want a lighter twist, this version made with Daisy Cottage Cheese is about to be your new favorite. It’s creamy, cheesy, and packed with bold buffalo flavor, just a little lighter and higher in protein than the traditional version.

Blended until smooth, Daisy Cottage Cheese creates a rich, velvety base that keeps the dip luscious without feeling heavy. Stir in shredded chicken, your favorite buffalo sauce, and a sprinkle of cheese, then bake until hot and bubbly. The result? A crave-worthy dip that’s perfect for game day, parties, or anytime you’re in the mood for something spicy and satisfying.

• Daisy Cottage Cheese (3/4 cup): Creates the creamy, velvety base of the dip that adds a whopping 20 grams of protein.
• Shredded Cheddar (3/4 cup): Melts smoothly with a gooey, rich texture and a strong, savory, tangy flavor.
• Daisy Sour Cream (1/4 cup): Adds creaminess and just a hint of tang to the dip.
• Shredded, Cooked Chicken (1 cup): Adds the classic protein and flavor to the dip. Left-over rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe.
• Buffalo Sauce (1/4 cup): Adds the classic flavor to the dip. It’s tangy, spicy, and buttery. Feel free to add more or less depending on your taste.
• Blue Cheese (1 tablespoon): Adds a tangy, pungent flavor that cuts through the rich and spicy dip. It adds depth of flavor and balances out the heat from the Buffalo sauce.
• Diced Green Onions (1 teaspoon): Introduces a pop of color and a mild onion flavor.

• While cheddar is the classic choice, feel free to switch things up with Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, Gruyère, Fontina, Gouda, or Swiss. They all melt beautifully and bring their own delicious flavor.
• Short on time? Rotisserie chicken works perfectly here. You can also use any leftover shredded chicken or other cooked proteins you have on hand.
• Want to deepen the flavor? Add a few dashes of chipotle hot sauce for smoky heat or a swirl of sriracha for a fun twist.
• Not a fan of blue cheese? Try goat cheese or feta for a different tangy kick.
• No green onions? Fresh chives make a great substitute.
• For an extra boost of flavor, stir in ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder or celery salt.
• Love a little texture? Sprinkle toasted breadcrumbs or crushed butter crackers over the top before baking. You can also fold in a few tablespoons of diced celery for a fresh, crunchy bite.
• Have leftovers? Reheat gently in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until warm and creamy again.
