Bacon Cheddar Ranch Chicken Dip

Baked appetizer dips are wildly popular in this house, and not just for gatherings. I fully admit we make them for afternoon snacks, to even dinner. While family and friend gatherings isn’t in the cards this year, that doesn’t mean that appetizer dips are also a thing of the past.

We love appetizer nights, even if it’s just us digging in. They go so well with game and movie nights, to just relaxing and enjoying some great food. They will always be apart of our holiday tradition.

We often make Buffalo Chicken Dip, because it is simply amazing when it comes to taste. Yet we like to change up our favourites now and then with simple swaps that create a whole new taste. This warm dip recipe is fantastic on it’s own, yet it can easily be made into a Buffalo Crack Chicken Dip just be adding some buffalo sauce into the mixture. It gives this recipe that ‘kick’, for those that like that bold spicy taste.

This chicken dip recipe is sometimes referred to as Crack Chicken Dip for being so very addictive. It’s a tongue-in-cheek name for sure, yet I prefer to nickname this dip recipe as Fully Loaded Chicken Dip. Either way, this dip is as recognizable as it is irresistible and delicious.

How to Make Bacon Cheddar Ranch Chicken Dip

This dip is a mix and bake appetizer and is ready in 30 minutes, which could not be easier. You simply combine cream cheese, sour cream, cooked shredded chicken, ranch dressing mix, cooked crumbled bacon, green onion and cheddar cheese.

You can top with a bit of reserved cheese and bacon, then pop it into the oven. Once cooked, garnish if you want with some green onion and it’s ready to be enjoyed.

Since you could eat this dip for a meal, some might want to cut back the calories. If you prefer, you can use low fat cream cheese, light sour cream, light cheese and use turkey bacon. While I haven’t tried it with low calorie products, I’m sure it would still taste as great.

Can Shredded Chicken Dip Be Made Ahead of Time?

Absolutely! You can make this dip ahead of time and refrigerate until it’s time to bake. Yet keep in mind, the bake time might increase a couple of minutes. If you have leftovers, simply cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days, and re-heated to enjoy at a later time.

What to Serve with Warm Shredded Chicken Dip

We enjoy this dip with baguette slices, Tostito chips and even sliced vegetables. I like to have a variety on hand, so you can jump from one to the other. This way all tastes and preferences are covered.

I especially love this dip recipe because I usually have all the ingredients on hand, for when that mad craving strikes. I find this so handy, because I have been really trying to avoid multiple trips to the store each week. I have been using the CFC Free Grocery App and if you haven’t tried it yet – you’re in for a holiday lifesaver!

The CFC Grocery App allows me to make lists for my next shop, and also share lists with family so they can add to it, or even do the shop themselves. It’s a grocery organizer that controls that chaos. We all need helper elves this time of year, right?

As always, my chicken recipes wouldn’t be complete without using chicken with that Raised by a Canadian Farmer logo on the package. Choosing this chicken, means that I know myself and my family is getting top quality and no hormones. This purchase also supports family-owned farms across Canada. If your store doesn’t carry chicken with that logo above, ask the manager to bring it in.
