Ways to Make Keto Chicken Buffalo Dip
There are several ways you can make this recipe, it totally depends on the time and appliances you have on hand.
Today I will be making this low carb keto friendly buffalo chicken dip recipe in the oven, but you can also make it in a crockpot or slow cooker!
Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip Slow Cooker – Put all the ingredients into your slow cooker and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or until cheese is melted and heated. But make sure to use pre-cooked chicken like a rotisserie chicken.
For Stovetop Version – On medium-high heat melt the cheese, add all the ingredients and cook until bubbly and heated through.
For Instant Pot – Turn the instant pot to saute, melt the cheese and add the remaining ingredients and cook on simmer until heated through.
Tips and Tricks
- Use pre-cooked chicken instead of normal one like leftover or rotisserie chicken, by doing this you can reduce the cooking time by 15-20 minutes.
- I know we all love low carb buffalo chicken dip ranch but try it with blue cheese dressing for a flavor twist.
- Sometimes try to substitute cheddar cheese or Jack cheese for the mozzarella.
Can I Store this Recipe?
Yes, of course, get everything ready the day before you want to serve it, store in an airtight container and throw it in the oven for a few minutes until warm and bubbly.
What Kind of chicken to use for the Best Results?
Look I highly recommend to use leftover chicken(from tacos or tostadas) or 2 cups of rotisserie chicken but you can use breasts (2 cans chunk chicken breast), thighs.
How to Store and Reheat
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Transfer the dip to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Reheat: Warm leftovers in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.

- As a topping: Spoon it over grilled chicken, roasted cauliflower, or even zucchini boats.
