Dips & Spreads
Buffalo Chicken Dip (Dairy-Free)
Shredding the chicken while it's still warm from cooking, not after it's cooled, is what lets it pull apart into thin, dip-friendly shreds instead of tough, stringy chunks.

Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cooked
- 8 oz dairy-free cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup dairy-free ranch or blue cheese-style dressing
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (check label GF)
- 1/4 cup dairy-free mayo
Method
- 1
As soon as the chicken is cooked through, shred it immediately with two forks while it's still warm — warm chicken pulls apart into thin, even shreds easily; once it cools and the proteins tighten up, shredding it produces tougher, stringier chunks that don't blend into the dip as smoothly.
