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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the dip and bread chips evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated forming a creamy mixture.
- Prepare Dip for Baking: Spread the chicken and cheese mixture evenly into a baking dish, ensuring it’s smooth and level for consistent baking.
- Arrange Bread Chips: Lay the sliced bread chips in a single layer on a baking sheet. This allows them to crisp evenly during baking.
- Bake Dip: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the dip for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and slightly golden on top, indicating it is hot and melted through.
- Bake Bread Chips: Simultaneously, bake the bread chips for about 10 minutes or until they turn golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove both the dip and bread chips from the oven. Serve the warm, creamy Chicken Alfredo Dip alongside the crispy bread chips for dipping.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save time.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley or basil on top before serving.
- Feel free to substitute the bread loaf with baguette or pita chips if preferred.
- Adjust the garlic and Italian seasoning according to your taste for milder or stronger flavors.
- To make bread chips extra crispy, you can lightly brush them with olive oil before baking.
