High Protein Buffalo Chicken Melt

This high protein buffalo chicken melt is a delicious lunch or snack idea that you will love! Eat one slice as a snack or two slices as a meal. I use cottage cheese as the cheesy base, then I add some homemade buffalo chicken salad, and some shredded cheddar cheese.

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 lb chicken breast rotisserie chicken or canned chicken
  • 3-4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 tbsp ranch dressing
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
  • 2 stalks celery finely diced
  • 2 green onion finely diced
  • 10 oz cottage cheese 2% small curd
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese freshly shredded

Instructions
 

  • If you are making fresh chicken, cook your chicken in salted water or chicken broth until the inside temperature is 165F. Bring it to a boil and then lower the heat and cook for about 12-15 minutes. Once it is fully cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes, and then dice it into small cubes.
  • Mix chicken, ranch seasoning, ranch dressing, mayonnaise, celery, green onion, and wing sauce together in a medium size bowl. Set aside
  • Grab your slices of sourdough bread, and add 1/4-1/3 cup of cottage cheese to each slice. Make an even layer of it.
  • Then add your buffalo chicken salad and shredded cheese on top.
  • Cook each slice of toast at 375F for about 5-6 minutes or until cheese is bubbling. Use a toaster oven or air fryer. If you are using an oven, it may take a little longer to start bubbling.
