Ingredients
3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or finely diced
16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (plus extra for topping)
1/2 cup sour cream or mayonnaise
1/2 cup chicken broth (to loosen the mixture)
1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix (or a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and chives)
1/2 tsp hot sauce (optional, for a subtle kick)
Fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
For serving: Plenty of crisp club crackers or butter crackers
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×11-inch baking dish or a medium casserole pan.
2. Blend the Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream (or mayonnaise), chicken broth, ranch seasoning mix, and optional hot sauce together until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Fold in Chicken and Cheese: Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese and the cooked, shredded chicken until everything is evenly distributed throughout the creamy base.
4. Layer into the Pan: Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle an extra handful of shredded Cheddar cheese over the top surface.
5. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is heated completely through, bubbling around the edges, and the cheese on top is beautifully melted.
6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or chives. Serve hot alongside a large platter of classic club crackers for that authentic supper club experience.
