Recipe tips:
- Use a hand or stand mixer to easily and evenly shred your chicken every time.
- This recipe keeps in the fridge for up to 6 days, so it is great for meal prep.
- Freeze in individual servings for quick, easy lunches or snacks on the go.
- Don’t worry if you don’t like greek yogurt or cottage cheese (I don’t like them individually either). I promise you will never know they’re in there.
- You can start with 1/4 cup of hot sauce and work your way up to dial in your perfect spice level.
- Use hot sauce, not buffalo sauce, to keep your weight loss going. Buffalo sauce has SO many extra ingredients.
- To use rotisserie chicken in this recipe, skip cooking the chicken and head right into blending your cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and spices.
Instant Pot Instructions:
Time needed: 20 minutes.
- Cook your chicken
Add your frozen chicken breasts to the Instant Pot and cover with 1 cup of water. Close and lock the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Select Pressure Cook (high) and set the cook time for 12 minutes.
- Prepare your buffalo ranch sauce
Add cottage cheese, greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, black pepper, and Frank’s Hot Sauce to your blender or food processor. Blend on high until well combined and smooth. This will take about a minute. You may have to stop and scrape the sides to evenly mix.
- Natural Release
Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release. When the pressure valve drops remove the lid. Drain and shred your chicken. I love using a stand mixer to shred it, but two forks work as well.
- Mix
Turn your Instant Pot to Saute and add the contents of your blender. Once the sauce begins to bubble turn off the heat and add your shredded chicken.
- Brown the top (optional)
If desired, pour the contents of your pot into a baking dish and stick the dip under the broiler for a minute or so!
- Serve
Top as desired with shredded cheese, goat cheese, or green onions. Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve cold. This is a great recipe for meal prep. Place individual servings in separate containers and refrigerate or freeze until ready to eat.

How much is a serving?
About 1/2 cup!
What is the serving size? You have the points value, but I don’t see how big of a serving that is.
Thank you!
About 1/2 cup!
This recipe is an excellent riff on the full fat dip.
Pop ups and ads on this site and difficultly actually finding recipe within text is too annoying.
Thanks!
There’s a jump to recipe button right at the top of the post that will bring you to the printable recipe next time :)
Can I swap the low-fat versions of cottage cheese and yogurt with fat-free versions without changing taste and consistency?
It won’t change the flavor, but the consistency will be thinner :)
Are you able to use buffalo sauce?
Could you use ranch dressing mix? Or do both of these change the points?
Both of these things will change the points. I encourage you to try it with the Franks–it’s delicious, and satisfies my buffalo craving!
You’re right. Cottage cheese was undetectable and I didn’t tell. A double pan of the same dip was requested for our weekend football spread. In happy to oblige! Lol
Whoooooo! I’m so glad you like it!
Can I add the sauce in the crock pot while chicken cooks?
I wouldn’t do that because it’s dairy.
I am cooking this recipe with uncooked chicken breasts instead of frozen chicken how should I cook via instapot with the chicken not being frozen?
It’ll be the same directions, the pot will just take longer to come to pressure! :)
