Ingredients

• 1 lb cooked boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped small
  
  

• 2 cups cottage cheese (blend if you prefer a smoother dip)
  
  

• 1 ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  
  

• ¼ cup Frank's Red hot sauce (or preferred hot sauce)
  
  

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  
  

• 1 green onion for garnish
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   
   

2. In a medium bowl, combine cooked chicken, cottage cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar, hot sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well.
   
   

3. Transfer the mixture to a small casserole dish and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup cheddar cheese.
   
   

4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until bubbly. For a browned, crispy top, broil for 1-2 minutes (watch carefully to avoid burning).
   
   

5. Allow the dip to cool for a few minutes before serving with fresh veggie sticks or tortilla chips.
