Ingredients

2 lbs pre-shredded rotisserie chicken (or remove skin from a rotisserie chicken and shred it yourself)

• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

• 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• ¼ cup dill relish

• ¼ cup finely chopped red onion

• ¼ cup ranch seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

• ½ tsp dried dill (or to taste)

• ½ tsp dill pickle seasoning (like Trader Joe’s)

• Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Toss it all in the mixer
   Add your pre-shredded (or roughly pulled) rotisserie chicken to the bowl of your KitchenAid mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix on low for about 20–30 seconds until the chicken is finely shredded.

2. Add everything else
   Add cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, dill relish, red onion, ranch seasoning, dried dill, pickle seasoning, salt, and pepper directly to the bowl.

3. Mix it up
   Let the mixer do the work! Run it on low-medium speed until everything is well combined and creamy.

4. Chill & enjoy
   Transfer to an airtight container and chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Serve with chips, on rice cakes, or your fave bread/bun. We did this on rolls at the lake and it was so good!

Britt’s Tip:

This is a total fridge staple! It lasts 3–4 days and is perfect for busy weeks when you need quick protein on hand—with hardly any dishes to clean.
