This dip went over well for the stay at our Christmas Eve party. I made the recipe as stated and it’s very good, what’s better than chicken, bacon and cheese? I will make again!

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS WARM CHICKEN DIP:

  • This appetizer is made easy by using store-bought rotisserie chicken. Or you could use two cans of drained chicken.
  • Also, you can save time by using the packages of real bacon pieces.
  • If you prefer, you can make your own Homemade Ranch Dressing.
  • This tastes delicious with crackers or your favorite veggie sticks.
