It doesn’t have to be game day for me to have a craving for buffalo chicken dip. I love the real deal hot dip baked in the oven or made in a slow cooker. But sometimes I want something that tastes lighter, like this healthy buffalo chicken dip recipe. It still has the same delicious buffalo flavor but it’s low calorie. But it’s made for dipping cold veggies, like celery, carrots, bell peppers and cucumber.

Ingredients for healthy buffalo chicken dip

• Chicken – For convenience, I used the chicken breasts from a cooked rotisserie chicken. But any shredded chicken and even canned chicken would work.
• Hot Sauce – Use your favorite brand. I like Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce.
• Blue Cheese – Another classic flavor pairing with buffalo chicken. If you don’t like blue cheese, replace it with shredded cheddar cheese.
• Cream Cheese – I tested the recipe with whipped cream cheese as the base. I like the creamy texture it provides, plus it’s easy to stir. For a more high-protein buffalo chicken dip, you could blend some cottage cheese in the blender and use it as a substitute.
• Seasonings – I chopped up a fresh jalapeño pepper and added some garlic salt to the mix. Feel free to add some chopped green onions, ranch seasoning or onion powder as well.
• Dipper Variations – Celery sticks are the classic pairing with anything buffalo chicken. But this is a delicious dip for any favorite vegetable. As well as pita chips, crackers or tortilla chips.
