Instructions

Preparation Steps: Gather and measure all the ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), preparing it to bake the dip evenly.
Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, creating a creamy base for the dip.
Add Flavorings: Stir in the Buffalo sauce, shredded chicken, ranch seasoning, and garlic powder until everything is fully incorporated and evenly mixed.
Incorporate Cheese: Fold in the freshly shredded cheese gently to maintain the texture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Prepare for Baking: Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading evenly for uniform cooking. Alternatively, you can place it into a slow cooker if preferred.
Bake or Slow Cook: Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until it becomes bubbly and slightly golden on top. If using a slow cooker, heat on low for 1-2 hours until warm and creamy.
Final Touches and Serve: Remove from oven or slow cooker and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions, crumbled blue cheese, and parsley. Serve warm with vegetable sticks or chips.

Notes

For a spicier dip, increase the Buffalo sauce quantity according to taste.
Using rotisserie chicken is a convenient shortcut but freshly cooked chicken shredded by hand works just as well.
You can substitute ranch seasoning with homemade seasoning for a fresher flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and cheese with plant-based alternatives, though this will alter the flavor profile.
