Delicious Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Dip

We went to a party a while back and an acquaintance brought a dip that knocked my socks off. It was so delicious I had to get the recipe. She gave me the name so I searched the internets for it. After checking out the ingredients it was clear to me that this was a recipe that had potential to be a pretty low carb snack. So of course I went out and got what I needed to make up my own batch. 

Hungry Girl Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe


2 (10 ounce) cans chicken breasts 
1 (8 ounce) package fat free cream cheese, softened- 
1/2 cup frank's redhot original cayenne pepper sauce 
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese 
1/4 cup fat free ranch dressing 
1/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt 


Directions: 
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
2 Place cream cheese in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Mix in Frank's RedHot, mozzarella cheese, ranch dressing, and yogurt. Stir in chicken until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture evenly into a deep 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish. 
3 Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until mixture is heated through. Stir well and enjoy! 
4 P.S. We love dipping carrot sticks and red bell pepper chunks into this dip, but we've also dunked baked tortilla chips into it and used it as a sandwich spread! 
5 HG Alternative! To make this dish FAST, skip the oven altogether. Prepare dip according to the directions, but in a microwave-safe dish. Then microwave uncovered on high for 5 minutes (stopping and stirring halfway through cooking), or until hot.

This stuff is super easy to make and required less than 10 minutes to do it. We chopped up some fresh celery and peppers to dip into it which worked great. Your carb friendly fans could use tortilla chips if they wanted, but we opted out to keep it low carb. Anyway, its full of flavor, not to spicy, and a great choice to bring to a party or for watching the game. At the party I went to, it was one of the first things to go. I can't say for sure, but I would guess that the carb count is pretty low, so try it out.

That chicken dip looks really tasty. Would be a great snack to bring to work along with some celery sticks.

Using fat free ranch and cream cheese adds unnecessary carbs. For truly low carb, opt for the full fat (regular) versions.

My thoughts exactly. Fat free foods are usually filled with artificial flavors, chemicals and stabilizers. I'm only on day three of induction and I know that you shouldn't be using fat free anything. The recipe still looks good but I'm wondering if I could omit the yogurt and use full fat and it would still taste good.

it would probably taste even better using full fat.

This dip is delicious!! We are low carb so I enjoy it with celery sticks and pork rinds! No carbs but lots of crunch.

For the chicken part of the recipe. It says canned roasted tomatoes but under instructions it says sundried tomatoes. Which is correct, canned roasted or sundried (not talking about the noodle part, I know that’s sundried)?
