Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, smoky BBQ sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well until all components are fully incorporated, creating a creamy, uniform mixture.
  2. Bake Dip: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixed dip into an oven-safe dish and spread evenly. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking the chicken.
  • For extra spice, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the mix.
  • This dip can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
  • Substitute cheddar cheese with smoked gouda or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
