My husband never tried Buffalo Chicken Dip until a few months ago when he tried it at a friends house and loved it. I've eaten it before, but have never made it myself.
I wanted to try to make another appetizer idea to share with you for the Super Bowl and this recipe is real easy. However, I wanted to lighten it up a bit because who can really stop at 2 tablespoons of this goodness?!
By using fat free and light substitutions in this Reduced Fat Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe, I shaved off 59 calories and 7.4 grams of fat per serving from this recipe. So go ahead and indulge a little!
The hot sauce gives it so much flavor you'll never miss the calories. I used leftover chicken I had from a roast, but you can bring two chicken tenderloins to a boil and allow to cook completely to add to this dish also.
Some people use the canned chicken; however, I've never purchased chicken in a can so I don't know if that would make a difference or not. Besides, fresh is always best. ~Enjoy!
