Why Make This Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe

Ingredients Needed

Here is a list of ingredients for the best buffalo chicken dip:

  • Chicken thighs: I use boneless and skinless raw chicken thighs
  • Ranch seasoning: I use my homemade ranch seasoning. Or, you can use your favorite ranch seasoning mix from the grocery store.
  • Smoked paprika: this gives the dip a slightly smokey flavor.
  • Hot sauce: I used Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
  • Cream cheese: Softened, plain, or flavored (onion and chive would work)
  • Sour cream
  • Green onions
  • Shredded cheese: I use mild cheddar cheese, but sharp cheese will also work

Be sure to check the recipe card at the end of the post for exact ingredient amounts and full instructions.

How To Make Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip

  1. Add the chicken thighs, ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, and hot sauce into the Instant Pot cooking pot. Mix to combine.
  2. Pressure cook the chicken on High for 10 minutes. Use the Quick release setting to remove the steam. Remove the chicken thighs from the cooking pot and shred the meat.
  3. Turn on the sear/saute function to medium/low. Add the cream cheese and mix until smooth. 
  4. Add the chicken and remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Serve the dip in a serving bowl.
Step-by-step guide to cooking Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip

What To Serve Buffalo Chicken Dip With

If you’re on a low-carb or keto diet, you’ll need low-carb side dishes for your dip. Below are easy options to consider:

  • Pork rinds: these also worked great in these keto nachos
  • Chopped vegetables: some of my favorites are celery, bell peppers, broccoli, and more
  • Low carb tortillas: you can cut these, then toast or bake them to have chips
  • Low carb breads: for example, you could skip the topping on my garlic parmesan bread bites and use those as a scoop for this dip.
