The North Park Clubhouse in Pittsburgh has this awesome BBQ chicken dip that they serve with multi-colored tortilla chips. I've looked around for a recipe that is similar but came up with nothing. I experimented and came up with a dip that tastes just like the one I had at NPC. It is an awesome alternative to buffalo chicken dip.
BBQ Chicken Dip (a Hezzi-D original)
1 1/2 c. shredded chicken (or 1 (12.5 oz) can of chunk chicken)
1 c. sweet BBQ sauce (like Sonny's or Sweet Baby Rays)
1 (8oz) package of 1/3 less fat cream cheese
1/4 c. low fat ranch dressing
1/4 c. light sour cream
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. black pepper
2 c. cheddar cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. In an 8 x 8 baking dish mix the cream cheese, ranch dressing, sour cream, garlic powder, black pepper, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, and 3 tablespoons of the BBQ sauce. Mix well and spread evenly into the pan.
3. In a small skillet heat the chicken and the remaining bar-b-que sauce. Cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce cooks into the chicken. Spread evenly on top of the cream cheese mixture.
4. Sprinkle the top with cheddar cheese. Bake for 15 minutes and serve with tortilla chips and crackers.
Note: This dish can be refrigerated for up to 12 hours after assembling. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator. Cook directly from refrigerator for 20 minutes.
**This dish can also be doubled and put into a crock-pot on low for up to 4 hours**
This sounds really good. I will have to keep it in mind for when I need to make some appetizers.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I think I'd have to control myself around a dip like that or I might end up finishing it all off.

what temp do you bake at? 400 degrees? sounds delicious though
ReplyDeleteYes you bake it at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. This is the perfect dip for any get together.
ReplyDeleteIf you were to prepare this in a crock pot, do you just combine all the ingredients & cook on low for 4 hours. Or do you follow the recipe & simply put it in the crock pot to keep it warm?
ReplyDeleteYou can combine all the ingredients except the cheese in the crock-pot and cook on low. About 15 minutes before serving sprinkle it with the cheese and it should melt and be ready on time.
