There’s a National Day for just about everything now.  Apparently January 29 is National Corn Chip Day.  If you’re looking for a dip to scoop up in your favorite corn chip, definitely try out this recipe!

How to Make Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip

This low carb appetizer only has 2 net carbs per serving.  It’s a got a great kick that won’t rip your face off.  I serve it with cool celery sticks that give it a fun crunch!

1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat and brown 6 ounces of cubed chicken breast.  After the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and reserve it in a small mixing bowl.
2. Lower the heat, add 1 more tablespoon of butter and cook 2 minced cloves of garlic until they’re soft.
3. Increase the heat and deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup chicken broth.  Stir until 1/2 of the liquid has evaporated.
4. Add 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 tablespoon crunchy Asian garlic sauce (optional), and 1/2 cup hot sauce (I like Frank’s).  Stir until smooth.
5. Add the chicken and any of its juices back in.
6. Stir well, serve with celery and corn chips, and keep warm in a small crock pot.

I keep a jar of this crunchy Asia garlic condiment in the refrigerator at all times.  I love it!  It looks fiery but it’s not.  It has a mild garlic flavor with a lot of tangy zip.

I also really like Brodo Broth.  If I don’t have a batch of my own homemade chicken broth handy I use this in a pinch.  Mostly, I sip on it for a nutritious treat.

How to make this in a Slow Cooker

You can also make this in a slow cooker.  Brown the chicken in a small pan, then add it and the other ingredients to the slow cooker.  Close the lid.  Stir before serving.

Other Ideas for your Buffalo chicken dip

• Mix it with cooked pasta shells or macaroni to make Buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese
• Use it as a chicken buffalo sauce and spoon it over sautéd zucchini noodles
• For a great alternative to ranch dressing, omit the chicken and use it as a dip for chicken wings
• Instead of cooking your own chicken, use 1 1/2 cups of a rotisserie chicken
• For a different texture, use chopped shredded chicken instead of cubes
• Top with shredded mozzarella cheese or shredded cheddar cheese for a real cheesy punch

Make it Ahead of Time

This dip will keep well in an air tight contain for 5 days in the refrigerator.  To get it “party ready” stir it well and put it in an oven safe baking dish.  Preheat oven to 300F, cover with tin foil and bake until hot and bubbly, about 30-40 minutes.
