    Expert Tips

    • For a smooth and creamy texture for your dip, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
    • To serve, use tortilla chips, or vegetables like celery and carrot sticks. The crunchy texture of the accompaniments will provide a nice contrast to the creamy dip.

    Variations

    • Spicier: If you like your dip with a little extra heat, add some chopped jalapeño peppers or a few dashes of hot sauce to the mixture.
    • Bake it: After pressure cooking the dip, transfer it to a baking dish, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top, and bake in the oven at 350 °F for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Stovetop Buffalo Chicken Dip

    1. In a large saucepan or skillet, set the heat to medium-low.
    2. Add the light cream cheese to the saucepan and allow it to soften and start melting. Stir it frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
    3. Once the cream cheese has softened, add the cooked chicken and chopped celery to the saucepan. Continue to stir to combine the ingredients well.
    4. Pour in the buffalo sauce. Adjust the amount of sauce to your desired level of spiciness. You can add more or less according to your preference.
    5. Stir all the ingredients together in the saucepan, ensuring that the cream cheese fully melts and combines with the buffalo sauce to create a creamy mixture.
    6. Continue to cook and stir the dip over medium-low heat until it's heated through and well combined. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
    7. Once the buffalo chicken dip is hot and creamy, remove it from the heat.
    8. Transfer the dip to a serving dish.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Store the buffalo dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Warm in the microwave or on the stove to heat through.

    Freezing: I don't recommend freezing this dip.

    Recipe FAQ's

    What are good toppings for buffalo dip?

    Cheddar cheese melted on top or blue cheese crumbles sprinkled on top are both delicious! I also like thinly sliced green onions on top.

    Can I make buffalo dip in a slow cooker?

    Yes! Add all of the ingredients in the slow cooler and turn on low for 3 hours.

    Can I bake buffalo chicken dip in the oven?

    Definitely! Cut the cream cheese into cubes. Add them to a sauce pan with the buffalo sauce. Once the cream cheese is melted, stir in the chicken and celery. Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 350 °F for 20-30 minutes. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and broil for 2-3 minutes.
