King Ranch Chicken Dip Recipe
Description
This chicken dip starts by combining cooked, shredded chicken with a mixture of sour cream, tomatillo salsa verde, chopped green chiles, ranch dressing mix, cumin, and shredded Mexican blend cheese. After mixing, the dip is poured into a baking dish, topped with additional cheese, and baked until the edges turn golden and bubbly, creating a creamy and flavorful dish.
The dip pairs well with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables for dipping, accommodating different dietary preferences. It can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated, and then baked before serving.
Leftovers keep well for several days in the refrigerator when stored properly.
Ingredients

- 2 1/2 cups Mexican blend cheese divided, shredded
- 2 cups sour cream

- 1 packet Ranch dressing mix dip mix
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
