BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

In partnership with FaveDiets ( http://www.FaveDiets.com ) recipe site, I am continuing on the series of recipe videos for the upcoming Super Bowl, but they would work just as well for any party. This video is featuring one of the all time favorite low carb dips - Buffalo Chicken Dips. Usually I have seen this recipe made with canned chicken breast, but those typically have modified food starch and other sugars added to them.

I also prefer this slow cooker method to other methods due to its ease and lack of labor approach. It is the ultimate in easy party food. It goes well with celery stalks, pork rinds, home-made low carb nacho chips, or even just by itself.

Ingredients:
3 Large Chicken Breasts
1 cup Frank's Hot Sauce
8 oz of Cream Cheese
4 oz Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Ranch Dressing
Cook in slow cooker for 3 hours.
