Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut!)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat or 2% recommended
  • 0.25 cup onion finely chopped (yellow or red)
  • 0.25 cup cooked bacon bits (or 4-6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled)
  • 0.25 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt
  • to taste freshly ground black pepper
Optional toppings
  • extra chives
  • red pepper flakes
  • sriracha a drizzle

Equipment

  • Oven-safe baking dish (e.g., 8x8 inch square dish or small cast-iron skillet)
  • Medium Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula or electric mixer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or spray a small oven-safe baking dish (like an 8x8 inch square dish or a small cast-iron skillet).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and plain Greek yogurt. Beat them together with a spatula or electric mixer until smooth and well combined. This forms the creamy base of your dip.

  3. Stir in the shredded chicken, finely chopped onion, crumbled bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
    1.5 cups cooked shredded chicken, 0.25 cup onion, 0.25 cup cooked bacon bits, 0.25 cup cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons fresh chives, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  4. Season the mixture generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste a small spoonful and adjust seasonings as needed. Remember, the bacon and cheese will add saltiness, so you might not need as much added salt.

  5. Gently mix all the ingredients together until everything is thoroughly combined. Ensure the chicken, bacon, and cheeses are evenly distributed throughout the creamy mixture.
  6. Spoon the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  7. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through, warm, and the cheese is melted and slightly golden around the edges. The dip should be bubbly and irresistible!
  8. Once removed from the oven, let it cool for a minute or two. Garnish with extra fresh chives for a pop of color and freshness. You can also add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat or a drizzle of sriracha if you like a spicy kick.
