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 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 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. 🙂

Delicious! I found out I was allergic to dairy a year ago and finding recipes that match taste have been hard. This one is definitely going to be on repeat when I need a dip. Taste like the dip I remember!
