Method
 

  1. If not using pre-cooked chicken, cook your chicken breast using your preferred method (grilling, baking, poaching, etc.). Once cooked, shred or dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your spice preference.
  3. In a bowl, place the cottage cheese as your base.
  4. Top with the buffalo chicken mixture.
  5. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
  6. Add your favorite toppings like celery, carrots, red onion, and blue cheese.
  7. Serve and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Spice it up with cayenne pepper or hot sauce, or cool it down with sour cream. Prepare the chicken mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Warm the chicken mixture in the microwave if desired. Get creative with toppings like bell peppers, corn, or black beans. Substitute cottage cheese with Greek yogurt or sour cream if preferred. For a low-carb version, use low-fat cottage cheese and limit dressing. Serve with celery and carrot sticks or a small salad.
