Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using rotisserie chicken, remove and discard the skin, then shred the meat using two forks until you have about 2 cups.
  2. For fresh chicken, season 2 large breasts with salt and pepper, then bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let cool slightly before shredding.
  3. Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth with no visible curds.
  4. Stir in Greek yogurt until well combined.
Mixing Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, blended cottage cheese mixture, Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Baking or Cooling
  1. For a warm dip: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spread it evenly, and top it with shredded cheddar cheese.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly around the edges and golden brown throughout.
  3. Remove from the oven and immediately garnish with green onions and blue cheese crumbles if using. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
  4. For a cold version, refrigerate the mixed dip for at least 30 minutes before serving.
