Crack Chicken Dip
Description
This Crack Chicken Dip mixes softened cream cheese with Ranch seasoning, chopped bacon, shredded chicken, sour cream, and shredded Colby jack cheese. The mixture is spread into a baking dish, topped with additional cheese, and baked until golden and bubbly.
The result is a creamy, rich dip that blends the smokiness of bacon with the tang of Ranch and smooth texture from the cheeses and sour cream. Baking warms the ingredients thoroughly and melts the cheese, creating a dip that is indulgent and satisfying.
Serve this dip warm with chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks. It’s a filling appetizer that can easily feed a small group at gatherings or game day events.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated or frozen for longer storage. The recipe also adapts to slow cooker preparation, allowing for convenient, warmed serving without baking. The use of rotisserie chicken shortens preparation time and adds flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1½ tablespoons Ranch dressing mix
- ½ cup Bacon chopped
- 1½ cups Colby jack cheese shredded
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chicken shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine cream cheese, Ranch dressing mix, chopped bacon, 1 cup of cheese, sour cream, and shredded chicken in a medium bowl. Mix well.
- Pour into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheese and bake for 20-22 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- Using shredded rotisserie chicken simplifies preparation and adds flavor, but homemade shredded chicken can also be used.
- The dip can be made in a slow cooker on Low for 2-3 hours instead of baking.
- Prepare ahead by assembling and refrigerating up to 24 hours before baking.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
