Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite variety)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend works well)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, BBQ sauce, and shredded cheese thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Bake the Dip: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.
  3. Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the dip warm with chips, crackers, or fresh cut veggies.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
  • For extra smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the mix.
  • Adjust the BBQ sauce amount based on desired tanginess and spice level.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving again.
