Why This Recipe Works:
Many traditional Buffalo chicken dip recipes use ingredients that contain gluten, such as certain cream cheeses or thickening agents. This recipe carefully selects gluten-free alternatives without sacrificing taste or texture. We’re using naturally gluten-free ingredients and providing suggestions for suitable replacements to ensure everyone can enjoy this delicious dip.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (ensure it’s gluten-free; some brands add wheat starch)
- 1/2 cup gluten-free ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (check label to confirm gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, gluten-free ranch dressing, and buffalo wing sauce. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions (if using).
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
- Serve immediately with gluten-free tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or bell pepper slices.
Tips and Variations:
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the mixture.
- To make it ahead of time, prepare the dip and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if starting with a cold dip.
- Try using blue cheese crumbles instead of cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- For a creamier dip, add a tablespoon or two of sour cream.
This gluten-free Buffalo chicken dip is a simple and satisfying appetizer that everyone will love. Enjoy!
