How to Make Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip

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

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 6 ounces chicken cubed
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon Crunchy Asian Topping
• 1/2 cup Frank’s Hot Sauce
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (garnish)
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional garnish)

Instructions

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 of chicken broth.  Stir until 1/2 of the liquid has evaporated.
4. Add 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of crunchy Asian garlic sauce (optional), and 1/2 cup of hot sauce (I like Frank’s).  Stir until smooth.
5. Add the chicken and any of its juices back in.
6. Stir well and garnish with green onions and blue cheese.
7. Serve with celery or 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 keto buffalo chicken dip 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.

Is Buffalo Sauce Low-Carb and Keto Friendly?

Absolutely. But that won’t matter if you dip it with a carb-loaded chip. Try one of these for dipping:

• Veggies like celery sticks, cauliflower, broccoli florets, bell peppers
• Parmesan crisps
• Pork rinds
• Low-carb nut crackers

Can you make Buffalo Chicken Dip Ahead?

Refrigerate
