INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 lbs rotisserie chicken shredded (about 5 cups)
  • 1 cup paleo mayo made with avocado oil
  • 1 cup coconut cream cashew cream, or dairy-free cream cheese (I like Kite Hill)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried chives or 1 tablespoon fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup hot sauce or buffalo sauce (I like Primal Kitchen)
  • For Serving: carrot sticks, celery sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a small baking dish (about 1 quart) with nonstick spray.
  • Remove the skin from the chicken and shred with 2 forks.
    1 1/2 lbs rotisserie chicken
  • Add all ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine. Taste and add more hot sauce if desired.
    1 cup paleo mayo, 1 cup coconut cream, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill, 1 ½ teaspoons dried chives or 1 tablespoon fresh chives, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 3/4 cup hot sauce
  • Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the edges are slightly browned and bubbling. See recipe notes for slow cooker instructions.
  • Sprinkle with green onions and serve warm with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or crackers.

Notes

Chicken Breast. I like to use rotisserie chicken, but you can use leftover chicken or follow steps to bake chicken breasts and shred it.
Ranch Dressing. Swap the dried herbs and mayo for a dairy free ranch dressing, like Primal Kitchen.
Slow Cooker. This recipe was originally published as a crock pot buffalo chicken dip. If you want to make it in the slow cooker, mix everything together in the crock pot and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
To Store. Place leftover buffalo dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator and store for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave, in the crock pot, or in the oven at 350 until heated through.
