Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Chicken Bacon Alfredo Dip cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken and crumbled bacon. Stir them together until they are well mixed.
- Add the cream cheese to the bowl with the chicken and bacon. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend the cream cheese until it is smooth and fully incorporated with the other ingredients.
- Pour in the Alfredo sauce and mix well until the sauce is evenly distributed throughout the chicken and bacon mixture.
- Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, reserving a small handful for topping later. Mix until the cheese is evenly combined with the dip.
- Stir in the chopped green onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for added flavor and freshness.
- Transfer the dip mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese on top for a delicious cheesy crust.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden brown.
- Once done, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the dip set slightly, making it easier to scoop.
- Serve the Chicken Bacon Alfredo Dip warm with tortilla chips, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
Tips
- Use rotisserie chicken for an easy shortcut and extra flavor depth
- Crisp your bacon until it's perfectly crunchy to add texture to the dip
- Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier mixing
- Don't overmix the ingredients – gently fold to maintain the dip's texture
- For a golden, crispy top, broil the dip for 2-3 minutes after baking
- Experiment with different cheese blends like adding some parmesan for extra richness
- Serve immediately while the dip is hot and bubbling for the best taste and texture
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best results
