1 lb cooked boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped small
2 cups cottage cheese (can be blended for creaminess)
1¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup Frank's Red Hot sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine chopped chicken, cottage cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar, hot sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Transfer the mixture to a small casserole or oven-proof dish and smooth the top.
Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup cheddar cheese evenly over the dip.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes for a browned top (watch carefully).
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, garnish with chopped green onion.
Serve warm with veggie sticks or tortilla chips.
