Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip later.
- Combine Chicken and BBQ Sauce: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce to ensure every bite is infused with that smoky flavor.
- Add Cream Cheese and Cheddar: Incorporate the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions into the chicken mixture, stirring well until evenly combined and creamy.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the mixed dip into a suitable baking dish, spreading it evenly for consistent cooking.
- Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly, hot throughout, and slightly golden on top.
- Serve Warm: Remove the dip from the oven and serve warm immediately with your choice of chips or bread for dipping.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken leftovers or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Feel free to swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- Leftover dip can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- To make the dip less spicy, choose a milder BBQ sauce.
- For added texture, sprinkle extra green onions or crispy bacon bits on top after baking.
