Which Type of Chicken Should You Use?

If you want to save time, I recommend using a rotisserie chicken or following my instructions for cooking frozen chicken in your Instant Pot. Did you know you can cook frozen chicken breasts in the Instant Pot in less than 25 minutes? It’s the best way to get juicy chicken in minutes with no thawing required! 

After your chicken is cooked, let it cool and simply shred the meat with two forks or a hand mixer. For this dip recipe, you will want about 2 cups of shredded chicken.

You will need these ingredients:

• 1 Rotisserie Chicken (or try making this easy Instant Pot Frozen Chicken)
• 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup small curd cottage cheese
• 1 package of Ranch seasoning mix
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

It’s so simple to make this dip recipe! Here’s how:

• First, shred the chicken meat with either two forks or a hand mixer.
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the yogurt, cottage cheese, and seasoning mix.
• Next, add the chicken and 1 cup of shredded cheese to the yogurt mixture and stir to combine.
• Put the mixture in a 8 X 8 baking dish, top with additional cheese, and bake in a 400-degree oven for 20 minutes, or until it is brown and bubbly on top.

What To Serve With Skinny Ranch Chicken Dip

You can serve this dip with your favorite snack items! I suggest crackers, bread, or tortilla chips. If you are aiming to keep carbs low, you can eat this dip with your favorite vegetables.

I like celery or carrot sticks with this Skinny Ranch Dip. You could also serve it with raw broccoli or cauliflower.
