Ingredients
- 1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- ⅔ cup buffalo sauce homemade or store-bought
- ½ cup coconut cream or heavy cream or half & half
- 3 stalks celery about ¾ cup diced
- ½ medium yellow onion about ⅔ cup diced

Optional Garnishes
- ¼ cup ranch dressing sugar-free - *See Notes
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 stalk celery
Instructions
- Dice the onion and celery and slice the green onions. Add the chicken breasts, coconut cream, buffalo sauce, nutritional yeast, onions, and half of the celery to the slow cooker. Don’t add the mayonnaise yet.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 3.5 – 4 hours, until the chicken is super tender and shreddable. Use two forks or a hand mixer to shred the chicken, then stir in the mayonnaise.
- Cover and allow the mixture to cook together for about 10 more minutes. Top the finished dip with sliced celery, green onions, ranch dressing, and extra hot sauce. Serve in the slow cooker itself or transfer the dip to a bowl or casserole dish for serving.

Notes
For dairy free buffalo chicken dip, use dairy-free sour cream when making my healthy ranch dressing recipe.
To make ahead: Store the cooked dip in a covered container in the refrigerator. Transfer to an oven safe casserole dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake for about 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C), until the mixture is heated through and starting to bubble. Garnish with any topping you’re using and serve.
To store leftovers: Transfer leftover dip to an airtight container or zip top bag. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
