Chicken Queso
This high protein Chicken Queso is a creamy, cheesy dip made with fat-free cottage cheese. It provides a boost of protein to help support fullness and muscle maintenance while still delivering all the bold, comforting flavors you crave. Reduced-fat cheddar, chili powder, and a touch of cayenne create a rich, zesty queso flavor without the excess calories and fat of traditional versions. Top with jalapeños for a spicy kick and enjoy as a dip, topping, or protein-packed snack.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tsp chili powder
- Cayenne pepper, to taste
- 4 oz cooked shredded or diced chicken breast
- Pickled or fresh jalapeno, for garnish
Instructions:
Combine the cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, chili powder and cayenne pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth. You can add a splash of warm water or chicken broth to create a creamier dip. Scoop the mixture in a microwave safe bowl, add the chicken and stir. Microwave for 30-60 seconds until hot. Garnish with pickled or fresh jalapeños. Serve with fresh veggie dippers and tortilla chips (not included in nutrition information below).
