Is BBQ Chicken Dip Easy To Make?
It is super easy!
So easy that you only need one bowl to mix everything in, and one dish to bake it in.
The Best Sugar Free Barbecue Sauce To Use
Because this recipe is sugar free, it is best to use a sugar free bbq sauce if you can.
You can use a store-bought bbq sauce, such as G. Hughes Sugar Free BBQ Sauce.
If you have a favorite homemade sugar free bbq sauce, go ahead and make it!
I chose to make and use Mrs. Criddle’s Kitchen Sweet Southern BBQ Sauce!
She has an option to make it thicker so that’s what I did.
It is amazing. Mild and not too spicy!
Ideal Cheese To Use For This Low Carb BBQ Chicken Dip Recipe
This part is totally up to you and your taste buds!
Honestly, there are so many amazing flavors of cheese, that you can use just about any of them in this recipe.
My family enjoys smoked cheddar cheese, so that’s what I chose to use.
You are welcome to try anything from sharp cheddar to Colby jack.
Pepper jack sounds nice, especially with the bit of heat it provides!
Make it your own with your favorite cheese.
Combine a couple flavors if you wish.
Chicken Can Be Made Ahead Of Time
An easy way to be prepared for any recipe that calls for cooked chicken is to cook it ahead of time.
Spend a couple of hours one day just cooking your chicken.
(tip: using your Instant Pot to cook a lot of chicken saves time)
After it’s been cooked and cooled, simply cut your chicken into bite size pieces or shred it, depending on recipes you’re using it in.
Measure one or two cups of cooked chicken and place in freezer bags.
Date them and set in your freezer until ready to use!
If you are short on time and need convenience, buying a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store is always a good option!
What Can I Eat With This Dip?
Because it is low carb, you may want to stick with low carb veggies or homemade low carb tortilla chips.
Here are a few optional low carb foods to eat with this bbq dip:
- cucumber
- celery
- bell peppers
If you’d like homemade low carb tortilla chips, here’s all you need to do!
First, cut a low carb tortilla wrap (like Mission Low Carb or Joseph’s Lavash Bread) in small triangles or squares.
Next, spray them with coconut oil or butter spray and lightly sprinkle mineral salt on the tops.
Finally, place pieces of tortilla wrap on a paper towel or paper plate in the microwave for thirty seconds.
Depending on the size of your chip, you may have to microwave them for a bit longer.
The end product will be crunchy and delicious like a chip!
How Do I Store Leftover Easy BBQ Chicken Dip?
If you are lucky to have any leftovers, you can store it in any airtight container in your refrigerator.
When you’re ready to eat leftovers, simply warm it up in a microwavable safe dish and enjoy!
