Notes

  • Cream Cheese: Make sure it’s softened before you start mixing; this helps everything blend together smoothly.
  • Shredded Chicken: Rotisserie chicken is a time-saver, but any cooked chicken will work. Just shred it finely for the best texture.
  • Bacon: Crispy bacon adds the perfect crunch. Cook it up to your desired crispness before crumbling.
  • Bread: Hawaiian bread is sweet and soft, making it perfect for this dip, but feel free to try sourdough or another favorite loaf.
  • Mixing: A hand mixer or stand mixer will give you a super creamy dip, but if you don’t have one, a good old-fashioned spoon and some elbow grease will do the trick.
  • Variations: Want to spice it up? Add some diced jalapeños. Or switch out the cheddar for another cheese you love, like Monterey Jack.
