Crockpot Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip with Cauliflower
Description
The dip starts by slow cooking chicken breasts in reduced sodium chicken broth with cauliflower florets until the chicken is cooked through. The cauliflower is then blended with buffalo sauce, salt, and pepper to form a smooth, spicy puree. After draining the broth, the puree and cream cheese are added back to the slow cooker, then shredded chicken is mixed in, allowing the cream cheese to melt and combine the flavors into a creamy, tangy dip.
The buffalo sauce provides a distinct heat balanced with the mild cauliflower and cream cheese, resulting in a textured, flavorful dish. Cooking and mixing all ingredients slowly in the crockpot helps meld flavors and maintain a warm serving temperature, convenient for gatherings or casual snacking.
Serving in the slow cooker is practical for keeping the dip warm during use. This recipe offers a way to incorporate cauliflower into a dip with buffalo chicken flavor without relying on heavier ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 Cups chicken broth reduced sodium
- 1 Lb chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 6 Cups cauliflower 520g, cut into florets
- 1/2 Cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- black pepper
- 8 Oz cream cheese Challenge Dairy brand
Instructions
- In the bottom of a 7 quart slow cooker, pour in the chicken broth. Place the chicken breast in, followed by the cauliflower florets. Cover and cook on high until the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 2-2.5 hours.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken to a plate to cool. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cauliflower into a high-powered blender, trying to leave as much broth in the slow cooker as you can.
- Into the blender, add the buffalo sauce, salt and pepper and blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary.
- Drain the chicken broth from the slow cooker and add the cauliflower/buffalo mixture in, along with the cream cheese.
- Using two forks, shred the chicken and then add into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until the cream cheese is soft, about 20-30 minutes.
- Once the cream cheese is soft, stir everything together right in the slow cooker, until well mixed.
- Either serve with chips straight out of the slow cooker, keeping it on warm, or transfer to a bowl to DEVOUR.
