Calories: 434kcal
Ingredients
- 400 g rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 5 tbsp buffalo franks
- 100 g blue cheese
- 300 ml sour cream
- 100 g cottage cheese, blend
- 200 g red Leicester cheese
- 1 tsp flakey salt
- Black pepper
- Fresh chives/ Fresh dill to garnish
Instructions
- Shred your chicken meat, whether that’s shredded chicken breast, rotisserie chicken or I used leftover chicken wing meat.
- If you want a smoother consistency from the cottage cheese, add the sour cream and cottage cheese into a tall glass and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
- Preheat your grill to 400°F.
- To a large bowl, add the shredded chicken, sour cream/cottage cheese blend, one third of the red Leicester cheese, buffalo franks and half of the blue cheese. Mix until well combined, then pour into a cast-iron pan and spread to level out the dip with a spatula.
- Top with the remaining red leicester and blue cheese and pop under the grill for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
- Finish with fresh chives/dill and dig in!
Notes
- When I used chicken wing meat to reduce waste, since I’d already made wings. But to keep this healthy, I would use rotisserie or chicken breast, as the skin to meat ratio is very high with wings, making it more calorific.
- Increase the heat depending on preference by adding more franks or adding a spicier sauce like Tabasco for added heat.
- If you can’t find Red Leicester, substitute with mature cheddar or gouda.
