Crack Chicken Dip
This crack chicken dip is creamy, cheesy, warm, and super easy. It is one of the best hot dip recipes for busy days, parties, or late night snacking when the house feels loud. My kids love it and I feel like a snack hero every time I make it.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken shredded cooked
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 packet ranch seasoning
- 1 and 1 half cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 6 slices bacon cooked crumbled
- 2 tablespoons onions chopped green
Instructions
- Mix the cream cheese and sour cream in a bowl. It may look lumpy first but it gets smooth.
- Add the ranch seasoning and stir again.
- Add the shredded chicken and fold it in gentle. I always spill a little and it is fine.
- Add the cheddar cheese and most of the bacon. It smells really good here.
- Mix until the dip looks creamy and thick.
- Sprinkle the last bit of bacon and green onions on top.
- Serve with chips, crackers, or veggies.
Notes
Tips
- Warm the dip for a few seconds if you want it extra creamy.
- Add a splash of milk if the dip feels too thick.
- Keep bacon topping separate until serving for crisp texture.
- Portion into small containers for quick snacks during the week.
Variations
- Add jalapenos or hot sauce for a spicy version.
- Swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack for a new flavor.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter feel.
- Add cooked corn or black beans for extra texture.
