Barbecue Chicken Dip

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

This barbecue chicken dip is so incredibly delicious and easy to make.

Dips are always the star of the show at any get together that I’ve had and this one is no exception.

I’ve served this for so many occasions like parties, holidays, movie nights and countless football Sundays.

To say that this recipe is always a huge hit would be a massive understatement. This is one of the first appetizers to go no matter what.

Everyone just absolutely loves it. The flavors are so unique and go together so well.

This reminds me of the classic Buffalo Chicken Dip that’s been a part dip staple for years.

Except it’s a little something different but just as hearty and delicious.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

Barbecue Chicken Dip Variations

I like this chicken dip recipe made just as it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Chicken- any kind of cooked and shredded or cubed chicken will work for this recipe.
• Cheese- use any kind of cheese that you prefer. Just be sure to shred it yourself and avoid the preshredded stuff that comes in a bag. It will melt way better that way.
• Cast Iron Skillet- This dip can be made in any oven safe baking dish instead of a cast iron skillet.
• Dipping- Tortilla chips or any cracker would be great with this dip. Keep in mind it’s on the thick side so choose something sturdy.
• Low Carb- Skip the tortilla chips and serve this with sliced vegetables like celery and carrot sticks for a low carb option.

Barbecue Chicken Dip Ingredients

• Rotisserie Chicken, shredded
• Banana Pepper Rings, chopped
• Canola Oil
• Onion, chopped
• Red Bell Pepper, chopped
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• Cream Cheese, room temperature
• Sour Cream
• Mayonnaise
• BBQ Sauce
• Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded
• Chopped Red Onion and Chives as garnish, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°

First, in a small skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat and sauté the peppers and onions in a little bit of salt and pepper for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.

Now, in a large bowl, add the chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, banana peppers, bbq sauce and most of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

Next, stir everything together until it’s evenly combined.

Then, add the chicken mixture to a cast iron skillet and smooth it out so that it’s flat and level.

Now, add more BBQ sauce to the top and using the back of a spoon, spread that out evenly.

Next, add more shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

Then, place it in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sides are hot and bubbly.

Finally, garnish with chopped red onion and chives (optional) and serve warm. Enjoy!
