Cheesy Tuscan Chicken Dip
This cheesy tuscan chicken dip is the perfect party appetizer or game day snack! It’s packed with flavor from all the seasonings, sun-dried tomato, rotisserie chicken, and melted cheese. It’s perfect alongside chips, toasted bread, or veggie sticks!
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream (225g) room temperature
- 1 block cream cheese (113g) room temperature
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (60g)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon cayenne optional
- 1 ½ cups rotisserie chicken (~200g) chopped
- ⅓ cup wilted spinach (~80g) drained of excess liquid, cooled, and chopped
- 2-3 tablespoon sun-dried tomato chopped
- 1 ½ cup mozzarella (or italian cheese mix) shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Prepare the spinach. If using fresh spinach: add to boiling water and cook for a few minutes until wilted. Cool, and drain the spinach of excess liquid, then roughly chop. If using frozen spinach: warm up according to package instructions. Cool, and drain the spinach of excess liquid, then roughly chop. Set aside.
- Roughly chop the chicken or rip the pieces apart, to about 1-2 inch pieces. You dont want them too small or else it would totally disintegrate - you want noticeable bites to remain even after being stirred in, then set aside.
- In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning cayenne (if using), and salt until fully combined. Then stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, then 1 cup mozzarella. Lastly, mix in the chicken. You can give the cold dip a taste here and adjust for seasonings if you'd like.
- Add the mix to a cast iron skillet or an oven safe pan. Add the remaining ½cup shredded cheese to the top and a sprinkle of paprika for color if you'd like.
- Bake at 375°F for 20-25 min. If you want an extra bubbly crispy cheese top, broil at the end for 1-2 minutes or until the desired color is reached. Serve with crackers, toasted bread, or veggie sticks and enjoy!
