The image shows a close-up of a creamy dip served in a white bowl on a white marbled surface. The dip has a smooth, rich orange base mixed with swirls of lighter orange and white, suggesting a cheesy or spicy sauce. On top, there are crumbles of blue cheese, white with spots of blue mold, scattered mainly in the center. Bright green chopped scallions are spread over the dip, adding fresh color and texture contrast. Tiny flecks of black pepper or seasoning are also visible throughout. The overall appearance is thick, creamy, and inviting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
1/4 cup low-fat cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, hot sauce, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Stir in the shredded chicken, half of the blue cheese, and half the mozzarella cheese. Blend thoroughly to ensure all chicken pieces are coated.
Step 4: Spread the mixture evenly into a baking dish.
Step 5: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and blue cheese on top of the mixture.
Step 6: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly browned on top.
Step 7: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before topping with chopped scallions.
Step 8: Serve warm with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or whole-grain crackers.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper or use a spicier hot sauce.
Swap blue cheese for shredded cheddar if preferred for a milder flavor.
Try adding chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and added flavor.

Storage

Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through. If the dip thickens after refrigeration, stir in a splash of water or milk to loosen it before serving.
