🧀 Creamy Base
- 1 cup cottage cheese

🌶️ Buffalo Flavor
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

🧄 Seasoning

🍽️ Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese until smooth and creamy. This step helps remove the grainy texture and makes the dip extra silky.
In a large bowl, add shredded chicken, blended cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and buffalo sauce. Mix everything until fully combined.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well so the flavor spreads evenly.
Now fold in mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan cheese. Mix until everything looks thick and creamy.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until the top is bubbly, golden, and slightly crispy around the edges.
Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
