Million Dollar Chicken Dip
This creamy, savory appetizer is a total crowd-pleaser and clearly a family favorite! Here is how to make it:
Ingredients:
Cooked Chicken: 2 cups of shredded or finely chopped cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great).
Cream Cheese: 8 oz (225g), softened to room temperature.
Sour Cream: 1/2 cup.
Bacon: 8 slices, cooked until crispy and crumbled (save half for the topping).
Shredded Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup (save half for the topping).
Ranch Seasoning Mix: 1 packet (about 2 tbsp of dry mix).
Green Onions: 2 stalks, thinly sliced.
For Serving: Fresh celery sticks, crackers, or tortilla chips.
Instructions:
Prepare the Creamy Base:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and Ranch seasoning until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Fold in the Main Ingredients:
Add the shredded chicken, half of the shredded cheese, half of the crumbled bacon, and most of the green onions. Stir well until everything is evenly distributed.
Chill:
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up.
Serve:
Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish the top with the remaining cheese, crispy bacon, and green onions. Serve cold with crunchy celery sticks or your favorite crackers.
