I LOVE to make Marry Me Chicken for guests, but even better is this dip version! Marry Me Chicken Dip is creamy, rich, cheesy, and packed with some serious flavor!! The tender chicken pieces and sun-dried tomatoes give this recipe its OOMPH. It’s the PERFECT, yet an easy to make party appetizer that comes together quickly and disappears fast. Great for EVERY game day or holiday.
MARRY ME CHICKEN DIP
1 ½ cups rotisserie chicken pieces, small chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 ½ cups FINELY shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup FINELY shredded Parmesan cheese
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained well and chopped **see note
1 cup FRESH chopped spinach (optional)
FRESH chopped basil for garnish, optional
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth using a hand mixer.
- Add in 1 cup of the Mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and salt, mixing until well combined.
- Fold in the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and shredded chicken until evenly combined.
- Spread mixture into medium baking dish (round or 9×9 inch) or large cast iron skillet and smooth into an even layer.
- Top with the remaining ½ cup mozzarella.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
- Broil for 1 minute, or until the cheese on top is golden brown.
- Garnish with extra sun-dried tomatoes and FRESH chopped basil before serving.
- Serve with crackers, toasted bread pieces or tortilla chips.
NOTES:
- Roasted Red Peppers substitute really well for sun dried tomatoes in a pinch.
- The dip makes a wonderful sandwich when served on croissants.
