Chef's Notes

Tip

Cook chicken until just done to keep it tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry.

Tip

For a smoother dip, shred chicken finely with forks or use a food processor.

Make Ahead

Assemble the dip completely, cover, and refrigerate. Bake an extra 5-10 mins when ready.

Serving

Serve hot with celery sticks, carrot sticks, tortilla chips, or pita bread.
