Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble the dip in the baking dish, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5–10 minutes to the bake time if baking from cold.
What type of chicken should I use?
Use rotisserie chicken, cooked shredded chicken breasts, or leftover cooked chicken. The recipe calls for shredded chicken, not ground.
Can I substitute the cream cheese?
Neufchâtel cheese or Greek yogurt can replace some of the cream cheese, though the dip will be slightly less rich and creamy.
Can I make this in a slow cooker?
Yes. Mix all ingredients, transfer to a slow cooker, and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally, until hot and bubbly.
