Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb. chicken breast, raw
- 3/4 cup buffalo sauce, divided
- 1/2 cup mayo, divided
- 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 celery stalks, finely diced
- 3 green onions, ends trimmed and sliced (white and green parts separated)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened milk of choice (coconut or almond milk, NOT vanilla)
For Serving
- Celery sticks
- Carrot sticks
- Mini bell peppers
- Tortilla chips
- Ranch and/or hot sauce for drizzling (optional, recommended Primal Kitchen Ranch and Franks Red Hot Sauce for Whole30 and dairy-free)
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup buffalo sauce with 1/4 cup mayo and whisk together until smooth.
- Add ingredients to slow cooker: Place the raw chicken breast, buffalo sauce-mayo mixture, red bell pepper, celery, and the white part of the green onions into the slow cooker. Stir to combine evenly.
- Cook the chicken: Set the slow cooker on high and cook for 4 hours (or on low for 6 hours) until the chicken is cooked through.
- Shred and combine: Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and roughly chop or shred it. Return the chicken to the slow cooker along with the remaining 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, 1/4 cup unsweetened milk of choice, and the green parts of the green onions. Stir everything together.
- Heat the dip: Continue cooking the dip on high for 30 minutes until fully heated through. Add more milk if needed to thin the dip to your preferred consistency.
- Serve: Serve the dip straight from the slow cooker or transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with green onions and drizzle with hot sauce and/or ranch if desired. Accompany with celery sticks, carrot sticks, mini bell peppers, and tortilla chips.
Notes
- This dip is creamy and flavorful without any dairy, perfect for those who are dairy-free or following Whole30 guidelines.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
- Use unsweetened coconut or almond milk to maintain the dairy-free quality and avoid any sweetness that vanilla versions may add.
- If the dip is too thick after cooking, add additional milk a tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
- Pair with fresh veggies for a healthier snack option or serve with tortilla chips for classic game-day enjoyment.
