    Why You'll Love It

    • Keto buffalo chicken dip is creamy, cheesy, and has the perfect amount of flavor and spice! This versatile dip can be served with a nice variety of crispy, crunchy accompaniments.
    • There are only 3 net carbs per serving, and since there are 6 generous servings, you can enjoy a nice size portion with your favorite keto veggies.
    • It's easy to make, too! Dump everything into one bowl, give it a stir, pour it into a skillet, and bake it. My friends, this dip is a no-brainer when you're in need of a great keto dip for a party or any special occasion.
    • If you're crazy about spicy dips and appetizers, check out my Jalapeno Cheese Ball! It's rolled in diced jalapenos and crispy bacon. Oh yeah!

    Ingredients You'll Need

    One easy trip to the store and you've got everything you need for this keto buffalo chicken dip!

    Ingredients measured out in individual containers.

    Chicken - cook your own chicken breasts or use rotisserie chicken. Shred the chicken for best texture.

    Cream cheese - use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest dip

    Sour cream - use full-fat sour cream for optimal flavor

    Shredded cheddar cheese - for the best flavor and texture, shred your own cheese

    Buffalo wing sauce - choose whatever brand you like, but you just can't go wrong with Frank's RedHot Buffalo Wings Sauce.

    How to Make Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip

    Only 3 simple steps for this dip!

    (1) To a large bowl, add shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and buffalo wing sauce.

    All ingredients mixed up in a stainless steel bowl.

    (2) Mix thoroughly and then add to a small (9") cast iron skillet.

    All ingredients mixed up and added to a cast iron skillet.

    (3) Place in a 350F oven and bake for 20 minutes. Then broil the dip for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from oven and top with chopped green onions if desired..

    How to Serve Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip

    Serve warm and enjoy this yummy dip with veggie sticks, such as celery, pork rinds, or toasted low carb tortilla chips. Or serve with lots of low carb vegetables such as celery, broccoli, cauliflower, and bell peppers.

    Top this dip with a small amount of blue cheese crumbles for added flavor (again, check those labels for any additional carbs).

    What to do with Leftover Buffalo Chicken Dip

    Salad - If you happen to have any left dip, you can serve it on top of mixed greens. This dip makes a fantastic topping for a crisp green salad! Add some sliced cucumbers for extra crunch.

    Deviled Eggs - Another delicious idea is to make deviled eggs! Yes indeed. Just boil and peel some eggs (or buy hard-boiled eggs), slice them in half, and scoop out the yolks. Mash the yolks, stir them into the dip, and fill up the eggs! (Toss the yolks or save them for another recipe if you're not a fan of yolks). These are delicious -- I kid you not!

    Slow Cooker Version

    This dip can be made in a crockpot or slow cooker. However, since all the ingredients are already cooked, you'll want to keep the setting on low for just a couple of hours (or until thoroughly heated and the cheese is melted).

    Stove Top Version

    This dip can easily be made on the stovetop! Instead of baking it in the oven, cook over low heat and continue to stir until hot and bubbly.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use canned chicken for this recipe?

    Yes, if you want to use canned chicken, it'll work fine. Drain off any liquid before using. Canned chicken is very convenient to use but make sure to check the label for additional carbs and pick the one with no added sugars and thickeners.

    Can you freeze buffalo chicken dip?

    Yes! After baking the dip, let it completely cool off (or freeze before you bake it).
    Transfer it to a freezer-friendly container. Wrap the container with plastic wrap first, then aluminum foil. Label it so you'll remember when you placed it in the freezer (freeze for up to 3 months).

    When ready to eat it, let it thaw overnight in the fridge. Transfer to a baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Bake as directed although you may need to bake longer since it's cold and maybe still partially frozen.

    How long does buffalo chicken dip last in the fridge?

    Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.  Use an airtight container for best results. I like this 18-piece set of glass food storage containers with locking lids from Bayco. Available now on Amazon.
