Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients.
In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, shredded cooked chicken, hot sauce, almond flour, egg, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix until well incorporated.
Shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about the size of a golf ball. You should have around 12-15 bites.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bites on the sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm. Pair with Greek yogurt ranch dressing if desired.
