Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip
Ingredients
2 to 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or canned chicken works great)
1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
½ cup to ¾ cup Buffalo wing sauce (like Frank's RedHot—ensure it's the "wing sauce" or pure hot sauce without added sugars)
½ cup full-fat Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing (check the label for low/no sugar)
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, divided
¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
2 green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
For dipping: Celery sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or keto-friendly crackers/pork rinds
Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a round baking dish (like the one in the photo) or a 9x9-inch pan.
Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, and Ranch (or Blue Cheese) dressing. Stir or use a hand mixer to blend until it is completely smooth and creamy.
Fold in Chicken and Cheese: Fold the shredded chicken and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese into the cream cheese mixture until everything is well coated.
Assemble the Dip: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Scatter the blue cheese crumbles over the cheddar layer.
Bake: Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the cheese on top is completely melted and gooey.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the fresh sliced green onions over the top. Serve hot alongside your favorite crispy, low-carb vegetables or keto chips!
