Buffalo chicken dip with dairy-free cream cheese

Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip is an easy and delicious appetizer that is going to blow you away! Just as good as your typical, dairy-laden buffalo chicken dip recipe!

What I Love About This Recipe

1. Quick: This is really a quick and easy recipe that packs a ton of flavor – throw your ingredients in a bowl, mix up real quick and then pop it in the oven. So easy and delicious!
2. Dairy-Free: As someone who eats dairy-free most of the time, I am SO excited to finally have a dairy-free version of this type of recipe! Game Day here we come!
3. Versatile: I mean .. if you don’t feel like doing much for dinner .. this could easily be it! But of course, it is also a great appetizer too!

What You Will Need

1. Shredded Chicken: Check out this post on 3 Ways to Shred Chicken for ideas, but you can always use a rotisserie chicken if you want (I would check your ingredients though – some rotisserie chicken contain lots of weird ingredients!).
2. Frank’s Red Hot, Homemade Buffalo Sauce or Paleo Store-Bought Buffalo Sauce
3. Dairy-Free Cream Cheese: I used this type of dairy-free cream cheese through testing and it worked amazing! 
4. (Optional) Ranch Dressing: If you want your dip EXTRA creamy and not quite as thick I would suggest adding in some ranch dressing to thin it out.  I used my homemade version, but this store-bought is great too!
5. Toppings: celery and green onions
