- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the dip evenly.
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Cheese and Chicken: Stir in the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Prepare to Bake: Spread the creamy mixture evenly into a small baking dish or an oven-safe skillet, smoothing out the top for even cooking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired for a fresh, colorful finish.
- Serve: Serve warm with toasted bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
