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. 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.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 375°F.

  3. 3

    Mix the softened dairy-free cream cheese, dairy-free ranch dressing, hot sauce, and dairy-free mayo together until smooth.

  4. 4

    Fold in the shredded chicken.

  5. 5

    Spread into a baking dish and bake 20-25 minutes until bubbly and heated through.
