Recipe FAQs
What If I Don’t Have Pre-Shredded Chicken?
Feel free to boil up some chicken on the stove and season with salt and pepper. Once it is done cooking, remove from water, allow to cool slightly then shred with forks or a meat shredder
. Or if you have rotisserie chicken, simply shred it and use for the recipe.
Then use the shredded chicken breasts for your dip. This dip tastes fantastic, and the cheese on top is what really elevates the flavor.
More Common Questions
If you don’t own a cast iron skillet just reach for an oven-safe casserole dish or skillet to use! I just love the look of a cast iron skillet for serving but it isn’t needed.
You can warm it up in the microwave, or even the oven. If you opt for the oven just put aluminum foil over the pan to help prevent it from drying out.
Then just turn the oven to 350 degrees and heat until the dip is warmed all the way through.
You can freeze the dip, the only thing is because the cream cheese it could alter the texture of the dip. I personally have not frozen it, but I would say if you do, be aware it could curdle a bit when you go to reheat it.
