Tips to Make Paleo & Whole30 Buffalo Chicken Dip
Make the buffalo sauce.You can either mix the ingredients in the instant pot, or in a medium-sized bowl. Then, pour the sauce into the bottom of the instant pot.
Place the chicken breast in the sauce, and lock the instant pot lid in place (told you it’s a no-fuss recipe).
Set the timer on manual for 15 minutes, and make sure the knob is set to ‘sealing’.
Once the timer is finished and beeps, perform a quick release by moving the knob to ‘venting’.
Shred the chicken with two forks, or if you are short on time grab a hand mixer.
Can I Make this Dairy Free Buffalo Chicken Dip in the Slow Cooker?
Yes. Follow the exact same instructions as the Instant Pot recipe. Make the sauce, pour it in the slow cooker and add the chicken breast.
Cook on low for 2-3 hours, then shred chicken with two forks or a hand mixer.
What To Serve with Buffalo Chicken Dip
Since this recipe is Paleo friendly, and Whole30 compliant I am going to stick with grain-free chips and crackers, as well as nutritious veggies.
My favorite grain-free chips are Siete Tortilla Chips, and Thrive Markets’ Sea Salt Tortilla Chips are just as tasty. For crackers, I recommend HuKitchen grain-free crackers or Simple Mills Sprouted Seed Crackers. If you would like to make homemade Paleo crackers,here is a recipe for you.
If you are sticking with veggies I recommend fresh celery sticks, roasted cauliflower, carrot sticks, sliced bell peppers, or sliced cucumbers.

Notes
This Instant Pot buffalo chicken dip will last in the fridge for 3-4 days. Don’t forget it has chicken in it, so if you keep it longer you risk food poisoning.
If using frozen chicken breasts, I recommend cooking for longer time. Time will vary based on breast sizes.
