Ingredients
Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bread Chips
- 1 loaf of bread, sliced into chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip and bread chips.
- Prepare the dip mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Transfer to baking dish: Spread the mixed chicken and cheese mixture evenly into a baking dish, creating a uniform layer for even cooking.
- Arrange bread chips: Lay out the sliced bread chips on a separate baking sheet in a single layer to ensure they bake evenly and crisp up nicely.
- Bake the dip: Place the baking dish with the dip into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbling and lightly golden on top.
- Bake the bread chips: At the same time, bake the bread chips on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, until they turn golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Remove both the dip and bread chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve the warm Chicken Alfredo Dip alongside the crispy bread chips for dipping and enjoy!
Notes
- Use day-old bread for bread chips to ensure they crisp up better in the oven.
- Feel free to substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor and added protein.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dip mixture.
- You can prepare the dip mixture ahead of time and refrigerate; bake just before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
