Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cooked chicken
  • ¼ cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to prepare for baking the bites.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cooked chicken, hot sauce, almond flour, egg, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Form bites: Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls to ensure even cooking and easy serving.
  4. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and place the formed bites evenly spaced to prevent sticking and allow heat circulation.
  5. Bake: Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are fully set inside.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, pair with Greek yogurt ranch dressing for dipping to complement the spicy flavor.

Notes

  • These cottage cheese bites are excellent for meal prep or as party appetizers.
  • For extra crispiness, lightly spray the bites with cooking oil before baking.
  • You can swap almond flour with regular flour if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to match your preferred spice level.
