Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 cup (240 ml) cooked chicken breast, shredded
Vegetables:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) celery, diced
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) carrots, shredded
Sauces and Dairy:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) ranch dressing
Instructions
- Shred cooked chicken thoroughly, ensuring even, bite-sized pieces for optimal texture and sauce absorption.
- Pour buffalo sauce into a mixing container, stirring the chicken until each strand is glossily and completely coated with a vibrant, spicy crimson layer.
- Select a wide-rimmed serving vessel, spreading cottage cheese as a smooth, creamy foundational layer across the base.
- Carefully arrange buffalo-drenched chicken atop the cottage cheese, creating an appealing visual contrast between white and reddish hues.
- Sprinkle diced celery and shredded carrots across the protein, introducing crisp textural elements and fresh vegetable brightness.
- Gently cascade ranch dressing in elegant, zigzag patterns over the entire composition, allowing the creamy white condiment to complement the spicy chicken.
- Serve immediately while ingredients maintain their distinct temperatures and textural qualities, ensuring a dynamic culinary experience that balances heat, creaminess, and crunch.
Notes
- Choose high-quality, low-sodium buffalo sauce to control spice and salt levels for a healthier dish.
- Swap traditional chicken for rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken to save cooking time and reduce prep work.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of ranch for a protein-packed, lower-calorie alternative that still provides creamy tang.
- For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with crispy air-fried tofu or roasted cauliflower florets tossed in buffalo sauce.
