I’ve had this idea for a while that I could make a paleo buffalo chicken dip without using any fresh ingredients. Now that I have some extra time at home to experiment with my pantry staples, I finally decided to try it out.
All you need to do is soak up some cashews. Then, blend them into a creamy buffalo sauce. Mix that buffalo sauce with some chicken, bake your dip and you’re ready to eat! This dip is perfect with cucumbers, celery or tortilla chips!

I enjoy your recipes. This looks so yummy. I have a peanut allergy so I’m wondering what I can substitute for the raw cashews.
Thankbyou again.
Hi Audrey I’m sorry, but I don’t know of a nut free alternative. If you eat dairy, you could use creamy cheese.
I think I will try this in a dairy version. Would you recommend cream cheese?
Wooo yes! Try 3/4 cup cream cheese!
The best paleo buffalo chicken dip I’ve had!! We are half in one sitting!
★★★★★
Ah that makes me so happy!! We did the same 🙂
I stole some of the chicken intended to make my families full fat and dairy buff chicken dip! Made this for myself. Deeeelish!
Will dip with celery next!
★★★★★
Ahh love that! Yes try the celery it’s awesome!
We made this tonight with cream cheese. Yum! Question: is it 2 12-Oz cans of chicken or 2 small cans totaling 12 Oz? Thanks!
★★★★★
2 12-oz cans! I need to edit it to make that more obvious. So glad you enjoyed!
I made these to enjoy some healthy football snacks and was amazed at how delicious this was I wouldn’t have even know it was healthier. The soften cashews had the texture of blue cheese crumbles I didn’t even miss the cheese. It smelled so amazing while I was cooking and will definitely be making every football weekend!!
I am SO glad you made this and ejoyed it! I totally agree that I don’t even miss the dairy!
I have made this a few times now, and love how quick and tasty it is. I have used cream cheese when I didn’t have cashews — just a block of cream cheese and still used the chicken broth, warmed up to help loosen the cheese. Thank you for this delicious recipe that my husband is also into. 🙂
