Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked and shredded rotisserie chicken breast
- 1½ cups cottage cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup Frank’s RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill weed
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Optional Garnishes
- Green onions, chopped
- Blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip evenly.
- Blend cottage cheese: Use a food processor or blender to blend the cottage cheese until it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring no lumps.
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the smooth cottage cheese with shredded rotisserie chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, Frank’s RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill weed, dried parsley flakes, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to blend all flavors.
- Transfer to baking dish: Spoon the mixed dip into a shallow 1-quart baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Bake dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake until the dip is hot throughout and the top develops a light golden-brown color.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the dip from the oven. If desired, sprinkle chopped green onions and blue cheese crumbles on top for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for dipping.
Notes
- For a smoother dip, be sure to blend the cottage cheese thoroughly before mixing with other ingredients.
- You can adjust the amount of hot sauce to your desired spice level.
- Use a shallow baking dish to allow the dip to heat evenly.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For a richer dip, consider adding a few tablespoons of cream cheese or using full-fat cheddar cheese.
