High Protein Buffalo Chicken Dip (Gluten Free and Meal Prep Friendly)

This post may contain affiliate links

This is one of those recipes that feels like it shouldn’t be “healthy”… but it is. My husband can down a whole pan of this without taking a breath (and it's 102 grams of protein for the whole pan!).

It’s creamy, cheesy, a little spicy, and honestly tastes like something you’d bring to a party and not think twice about. And it's insanely simple. Literally, shred the chicken, blend the sauce, mix, and bake. High protein, simple ingredients, takes less than 20 minutes.

Why This Recipe Works

A lot of buffalo chicken dips are:

• Loaded with heavy cream and full-fat cheese

• Low in protein for the calories

• Easy to overeat without feeling full

This version flips that.

By using:

• Cottage cheese

• Greek yogurt cream cheese

• Lean rotisserie chicken

You get a dip that’s: Filling, balanced, and still tastes like comfort food

Ingredients (2 Servings)

• 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

• 1 cup 2% cottage cheese

• 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt cream cheese (you can find this at Walmart)

• 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (I use Primal Kitchen)

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• Pinch of cayenne

• 1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Add the shredded chicken to an 8x8 inch baking dish.

In a blender cup, combine: Cottage cheese, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne.

Blend until completely smooth (this blender works perfectly). Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings if needed. Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Sprinkle mozzarella over the top.

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

Serve immediately.

How to Serve It

This is where you can adjust based on your goals.

For fat loss:

• Eat it straight up with a fork

• Serve with celery or cucumber slices

For more flexibility or entertaining:

• Pair with Siete chips

• Serve as a dip for a group

It works both ways, which is why it’s so easy to stick to.

Meal Prep + Party Tip

This recipe holds up really well.

• Store leftovers in the fridge for 5 days

It’s one of those meals that doesn’t feel like meal prep, which makes consistency easier.
