Notes
Cream Cheese Tip: Make sure the cream cheese is softened so it mixes smoothly with the other ingredients.
Chicken Choice: Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe—it’s quick, flavorful, and saves time. If you’re using leftover cooked chicken, make sure it’s well-shredded for even distribution.
Hot Sauce Balance: If you’re not sure about the heat, start with less hot sauce and adjust as you go.
Cheese Mix: For an even cheesier experience, consider mixing in some shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack before baking. It adds a gooey, melty layer that takes it up a notch.
Serving Style: For a fun twist, bake the dip in an oven-safe skillet for a more rustic look.
Dipping Options: This dip pairs well with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or baguette slices.
Make-Ahead Option: This dip pairs well with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or sliced baguettes. For a healthier option, try serving it with cucumber slices or bell pepper strips.
