Wow, I can’t believe it’s December 1st already. December is always a crazy month in our household and I’m sure yours as well! Between all of the Christmas festivities and just preparing for Christmas in general, it’s amazing I can get anything else done at all. I did, however, manage to squeeze in some time to perfect this High Protein, Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Dip and can I just say, it is soooo good.
I don’t know about you, but when I used to think about healthy food I would picture bland meals. A plain chicken breast, broccoli and brown rice is the epitome of healthy meals. While I do eat something similar to that combination on occasion, this buffalo chicken dip is where that idea of healthy eating comes to die.
A large serving will only set you back 196 calories (1/4 of the whole recipe). Or maybe you’re like me and you eat half of the entire recipe for 392 calories. I don’t judge and you don’t even need to feel guilty because the whole heaping bowl you will get is still under 400 calories.
I ate this dip for lunch with veggies to keep the meal a low carb, keto option. Celery is a great option because it’s really low in calories. This buffalo chicken dip was one of those meals where I felt like I was cheating on my lifestyle. I wasn’t. It really doesn’t get any better than that. This dip would also be great for parties dipped with Tostitos or pitas.
This recipe uses prepared shredded chicken. I love shredded chicken as a meal prep item because it’s fast and easy and so versatile. Not sure how to shred chicken? I’ve got you covered. Check out my post on how to boil and shred chicken breasts.
