  • Directions

Instructions
 

  • The "chicken" base for this recipe is jackfruit- I used canned.
  • Start by draining the can of jackfruit and squeezing the water out of each piece of jackfruit with your hands or a paper towel.
  • Drizzle some oil in a pan over medium heat. Then break up the jackfruit with your fingers to resemble the texture of shredded chicken.
  • Add the spices and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the jackfruit starts to become just a little crispy.
  • Transfer the jackfruit into a large bowl and add the cream cheese, mayo, buffalo sauce, and cheese. Combine them well.
  • Transfer the buffalo sauce to an oven-safe dish. Top with more vegan cheese if you wish.
  • Bake the dip for 20-25 minutes at 350*F.
  • Top the dip with chopped scallions and vegan blue cheese, dip your tortilla chips and enjoy!🥰

Notes

Serve immediately and enjoy while hot for the BEST flavor!
Adjust the spiciness to your tastes. Buffalo sauce is spicy but you can add less if you want it to be milder or you can add some cayenne, crushed red pepper or diced jalapeno for a spicier version.
Bake it in a cast iron skillet for a great look that you can serve straight on your table with all your favorite toppings around it!
