Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortilla chips or bread for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Chicken Cordon Bleu Dip cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken and 1 cup of diced ham. Use a fork or spatula to mix them together until well combined.
- Add 1 cup of softened cream cheese to the chicken and ham mixture. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard. Mix all the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Add 1/4 cup of chopped green onions to the mixture for added flavor and color. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to ensure the seasoning is evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the dip mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. This will help it cook uniformly and make it easier to serve later.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is slightly golden.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the dip to set slightly, making it easier to scoop.
- Serve the Chicken Cordon Bleu Dip warm with tortilla chips or sliced bread for dipping. Enjoy your delicious dip while watching the Super Bowl!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time on game day, you can prepare the dip mixture a day in advance. Just store it in the fridge and bake it right before serving.
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Adding a bit of sharp cheddar or pepper jack can give your dip an extra kick.
- Bake for Perfection: Keep an eye on the dip while it bakes. If you notice the top is browning too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Serving Suggestions: While tortilla chips and bread are classic choices, consider serving the dip with fresh veggies like celery and bell peppers for a healthier option.
- Garnish for Flair: Before serving, sprinkle some additional chopped green onions or fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.
- Make it Spicy: If you like a little heat, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture before baking.
- Keep it Warm: If you’re serving the dip at a party, consider using a slow cooker on the warm setting to keep it hot and bubbly throughout the event. With these tips in mind, your Chicken Cordon Bleu Dip is sure to be a hit at your Super Bowl gathering!
