Add the cottage cheese to a blender and blend it for 30–60 seconds until it becomes completely smooth and creamy, with no visible lumps. This step is important because it transforms the texture from grainy to silky, giving your dip that rich, restaurant-style consistency. If the mixture seems too thick to blend, you can add a teaspoon of milk to help it move more easily.
In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, blended cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and buffalo sauce. Using a spoon or spatula, gently mix everything together until fully combined. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated so every bite has a balanced mix of creamy, cheesy, and spicy flavor. Avoid overmixing, as it can break down the chicken too much.
Transfer the prepared mixture into a baking dish and spread it out evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula. Keeping the surface level ensures the dip heats evenly and develops a slightly golden top layer while baking.
Place the baking dish into a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for about 20 minutes. The dip is ready when it is heated through, bubbling slightly around the edges, and lightly golden on top. If you prefer a more browned finish, you can broil it for an additional 2–3 minutes at the end.
While the dip is baking, prepare the cottage cheese chips by spooning small portions of cottage cheese onto a lined baking tray. Spread each portion thinly into small circles, leaving space between them so they crisp up properly instead of merging together.
Place the tray into the oven and bake the cottage cheese rounds until they turn golden brown and crispy around the edges. Keep a close eye on them, as they can go from perfectly crisp to overcooked quickly depending on thickness.
Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the tray for a few minutes. As they cool, they will firm up and become crispier, making them perfect for scooping the dip.
Once everything is ready, serve the warm buffalo chicken dip with the crispy cottage cheese chips. Let the dip sit for a minute or two before serving so it thickens slightly, making it easier to scoop and even more enjoyable to eat.
