Recipe: High-Protein Buffalo Chicken Dip for One

After realizing how much I loved the viral cottage cheese pizza bowl, I had to try it with more flavors: enter buffalo sauce!

Let me tell you know. I’ve never met a recipe with Frank’s Buffalo Sauce that I didn’t like. I am obsessed with Frank’s and honestly, the amazing thing about hot sauce is that it’s usually like 0 calories so it’s a great addition during a cut when you don’t have as much room for oils and sauces.

This delivered, y’all.

Not that I doubted it… but it’s nice to have it confirmed, ya know.

And easy, high-protein dinners are my love langauge, so it was a slam dunk.

Here’s what you’re gonna do to re-create it!

Dip Base:

  • 1/2 cup of 4% cottage cheese (I ran out of 2%, so you could do that too to save a few calories(

  • 1-2 tablespoons Frank’s Buffalo Sauce

  • 60 grams of non-fat greek yogurt (make sure it’s well mixed or strain it so it’s not water-y)

  • 1 tsp cayenne, if you want it extra spicy

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 3 oz cooked shredded chicken (or amp it up to 4oz for even more protein!)

Toppings (pick whatever cheese you love!)

  • 10 grams blue cheese

  • 10 grams cheddar cheese

Directions:

  • Mix all the dip ingredients in a microwave safe bowl

  • Once mixed, put the cheese on top

  • Microwave for ~90 seconds

    Note: I added homemade pita chips on the side and sliced cucumber! Could also be eaten with tortilla chips or fresh bread (or eaten alone!!). I love celery with buffalo chicken dip too!!
