Are you ready for the most requested recipe I’ve had in a longgggg time? With the Super Bowl coming up in just a few short weeks, I had so many people on Instagram request a healthy buffalo chicken dip. And it’s about time I shared it with you!

Because I like to eat an anti-inflammatory diet, I wanted to make this recipe gluten free and dairy free for all my other paleo, whole30 or anti-inflammatory friends. But I am including an option with greed yogurt in case you don’t have any issues with dairy!

I also wanted to make sure I made it with ingredients that aren’t intimidating and really easy to find in the grocery store. You probably have a lot of these ingredients in your pantry already.

Ingredients for Crock Pot Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip

  • Shredded chicken is the star of the show here. You can bake chicken breasts at 400°F for 20 minutes or you can buy a pre-made rotisserie chicken and shred that.
  • Paleo mayo give this recipe fat and flavor. It’s taking place of the cream cheese and shredded cheese and helps give it more ranch flavoring because that’s what ranch is made of!
  • Coconut cream makes is extra creamy like the cream cheese version. You can swap the coconut cream out for plain greek yogurt if you eat dairy.
  • Hot sauce is another star of this show. I recommend a whole30 approved brand like Frank’s Red Hot.
  • Lots of spices to give it ranch seasoning including salt, paprika, dried chives, dried dill and garlic powder.
  • Lemon juice adds some acidity and balances out all of the healthy fats.

How to make healthy buffalo chicken dip:

To make this healthy buffalo chicken dip, start by preparing your chicken. If you’re cooking your own chicken, bake it in the oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes then shred it. You can also buy a medium-large rotisserie chicken that’s already cooked (this is what I do). Remove the skin and shred the chicken.

Once your chicken is shredded, add it to the crock pot with the rest of the ingredients. Stir everything together with a rubber spatula or spoon to combine then close the lid and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours. Stir again and top with green onion or extra chives if you want!

I'm Molly! I'm convinced love is the answer, that you can enjoy veggies and butter equally and dessert (usually a cookie) can change the trajectory of someone's day. I believe in eating to feel good and love health/fitness. My favorite days are pool days and if I could be any emoji it would be this 🤗. My goal is to create a space that encourages self-love and helps you define "healthy" on your own terms. Thanks for joining me in my journey!

Raw veggies and squash and everything. It boils and blends on its own. Easiest squash soup I’ve ever made👌🏻 My mind is blown by this @ninjakitchen blender (it’s new this fall). I’m including it in one of my gift guides I’ll be sharing later today!

How to make it:
Add 2 tbsp coconut oil, small medium onion, cinnamon and nutmeg to the blender and hit “sauté.” Next add 1 raw cubed squash with 4 cups chicken broth and a few tablespoons of pure maple syrup. Hit the “smooth soup” button and 30 minutes later you have dinner!
