Looking for a Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe Without Cream Cheese?

If you dislike cream cheese, no worries! You can swap in sour cream here. If you choose to go that route, to keep the consistency from getting too thin, and to keep the rich flavour, you should use 18% sour cream.

If you choose to go with a lower fat option then be aware that your dip may end up a little thinner.

About the Equipment Needed for Buffalo Chicken Dip

You don’t need any special equipment for this appetizer, however there are a few different ways prepare it.

If you cook the chicken and combine everything in a cast iron skillet, you can pop that straight into the oven, and serve it from the skillet.

You can also transfer to an oven-safe serving dish as the recipe instructs.

You could also divide out the dip into ramekins for individual servings.

About the Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Dip

Chicken – You do want to use fresh chicken breasts here. You could substitute with canned chicken but it won’t be nearly as tasty. If you prefer shredded chicken instead of chicken pieces, you can also poach the chicken or use rotisserie chicken and then shred it.

Hot sauce – I used Frank’s redhot sauce but you can use your favourite brand or even homemade hot sauce.

Cream cheese – Use full fat cream cheese for the best flavour.

Ranch dressing – Use your favourite ranch dressing.

Green onion – These are optional, but adds some nice flavour to the dip.

Garlic powder – Don’t use fresh garlic.

Cheese – We are using a blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and monterrey jack, You can also substitute with any other blend of shredded cheese that you like, but do avoid pre-shredded cheese as it won’t melt nicely.
