How to Make Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip

This homemade buffalo chicken dip is extremely easy to make and comes together very quickly if you use precooked chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken. You just mix the ingredients and bake, so it’s a perfect crowd-pleasing recipe that takes minimal effort for a party or a get-together.

The creaminess of the mayonnaise and the tanginess of the nutritional yeast are the perfect substitute for cheese. The baking process really melds all the flavors together to create a phenomenal dairy free and paleo buffalo chicken dip.

Ingredients

cooked shredded chicken: I like to purchase rotisserie chicken to make my life easier, but you can purchase chicken thighs or breasts and cook them yourself.
mayonnaise: Make your own or this is my favorite store-bought paleo brand.
hot sauce: I like Frank’s Red Hot Original for that classic buffalo flavor.
green onions
nutritional yeast: This will give this chicken dip recipe a cheesy flavor without any dairy!
onion powder
garlic powder
dill
sea salt
ground black pepper
celery seeds

Recipe Substitutions

If you aren’t paleo or dairy free, you can use cheddar cheese instead of nutritional yeast. I bet it’ll be extra yummy to add some blue cheese crumbles just before serving the buffalo chicken dip!

Step By Step Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place all ingredients for the dip in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. You can taste and add more hot sauce if you prefer.
Transfer to a small baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the edges are lightly browned and bubbly.
Serve warm.

For Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip

If you’d rather use a crock pot to make slow cooker buffalo chicken dip, all you have to do is mix all ingredients, then add to a crock pot. Cook for 2 hours on HIGH, then serve!

Tips for Making This Whole30 Buffalo Chicken Dip

To make this low carb buffalo chicken dip recipe super easy for you, you can use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken.
If you only have raw chicken on hand, you can pan fry 1 lb of chicken breasts or thighs over medium high heat 5-6 minutes on each side before shredding them to use in this recipe.
My favorite hot sauce to use for making my own buffalo sauce is Frank’s Red Hot Original. If you use another hot sauce with a different spice level, you may want to adjust the amount in the recipe.
This paleo buffalo chicken dip will last up to 4-5 days chilled. To reheat the leftovers, you can microwave it or heat it again in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
