How do You Make Buffalo Chicken Dip from Scratch
Start with the Keto Buffalo Sauce
Add the butter to a saucepan and melt over medium heat.
Once melted, add the remaining sauce ingredients and simmer for about a minute.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
To Make the Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Dip
Preheat your oven to 375F.
Add the chicken breasts to a large bowl and shred using a hand mixer. If you don’t have a hand mixer, you can use 2 forks. Set it aside while you mix the other ingredients.
In a separate bowl, add the cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, buffalo sauce, sour cream, parsley and garlic salt, and mix until well combined. Set mixture aside.
In the bowl with the chicken, add in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, but reserve 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese for the topping. Mix by hand until combined. Then stir in the cream cheese mixture.
Pour the mixture into a baking casserole dish, sprayed with non-stick spray. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top of the dip, then add the blue cheese crumbles.
Bake for 20 minutes at 375F, or until the cheese is slightly golden brown. Bake an additional 5 minutes at 400F. Allow to cool slightly and top with scallions, before serving with celery sticks or these Homemade Cheese Crackers.

What Goes Good with Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip?

Celery is always great with Buffalo sauce flavors, but you can also have sliced bell peppers or pork rinds.
Substitutions for Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Dip
- This Keto Buffalo dip is so quick and easy but if you find yourself really short on time, you can use rotisserie chicken. The key is to look at the ingredients on the label of the chicken to make sure there isn’t added sugars or other non-Keto friendly ingredients.
- The type of cheese you use is completely a personal preference. Use Pepper Jack, Colby of any good melting cheese.
- Want even more heat? Add some sliced jalapenos for extra kick. You can use fresh jalapeno or the pickled jarred kind. Either one will work great!
