This crowd-pleasing keto buffalo chicken dip brings together creamy cheese, tender shredded chicken, and bold buffalo heat in one bubbly bake. It's the perfect low-carb appetizer for game day, parties, or an easy high-protein snack.

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (about 12 oz)

1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce (Frank's RedHot or similar, sugar-free)

1/2 cup full-fat sour cream

1/3 cup sugar-free ranch dressing

1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch or similar baking dish.

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then stir in the sour cream, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined.

Fold in the shredded chicken, 1 cup of the cheddar, and the blue cheese (if using) until evenly coated.

Spread the mixture into the prepared dish and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar.

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until hot throughout, bubbling at the edges, and the cheese is melted and golden.

Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with sliced green onions. Serve warm with celery sticks, cucumber slices, or pork rinds.

Tips & notes

Use rotisserie chicken to save time — just shred and measure out 2 cups. Poached or leftover grilled chicken works equally well.

For extra heat, add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne or a splash more hot sauce. For a milder dip, reduce the buffalo sauce to 1/3 cup and add a touch more sour cream.

Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven or microwave until warmed through; add a splash of cream if it thickens too much.
