Chicken Alfredo Dip

This cheesy Chicken Alfredo Dip is made with rotisserie chicken, sour cream and two kinds of cheese. It’s an ooey gooey, super simple dip that’s perfect for game day, party snacks and cozy movie nights at home.

Alfredo Dip with Chicken

If you love dips, give this warm chicken Alfredo dip a try. It’s made by mixing rotisserie chicken with a simple cream cheese Alfredo sauce, then baked until bubbly and golden brown. Serve with sliced bread, crackers or even fresh veggies and watch it disappear as you wonder why you didn’t double the recipe.

To mix things up, try adding veggies like broccoli, diced peppers or artichoke hearts. It also tastes great with a crunchy, buttery cracker crumb topping like the one we use for our Jalapeno Popper Dip. Other great toppings include chopped parsley, bacon bits or sliced green onions.

Ingredients You Will Need

Cooked Chicken – you can use any kind of leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for this recipe. Of course you can also roast or grill chicken just for this recipe if you’d like, but using already cooked chicken is so much quicker.
Cream Cheese – full fat cream cheese will hold up best as it bakes, but you can try using low fat in a pinch. It’s best if your cream cheese is at room temperature when you go to mix it with the sour cream and chicken so that it mixes evenly.
Sour Cream – you can use regular or light sour cream.
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – you’ll want to reserve ½ a cup of shredded cheese to sprinkle over the top just before baking.
Seasoning: I like to use Italian Seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder for my Alfredo dip. Of course you can always add a little extra salt and pepper to finish.

How to Make Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Dip

Mix ingredients. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cooked chicken, cream cheese, and sour cream. Using the paddle attachment, mix on medium speed until well combined. Add 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix on low speed until well combined.
Transfer to baking dish. Transfer dip to an 8″ x 8″ or 9″ x 9″ or 12″ round baking dish, spread evenly and top with remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Bake. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Serve. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite crackers, chips or veggies. Enjoy!

Frequently Asking Question

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes! The best way to make Chicken Alfredo Dip ahead of time is to mix the ingredients, transfer to your baking dish, cover, and store in the fridge for up to 12 hours. About 1 hour before you are ready to serve, preheat your oven and pull the dish from the fridge to room temperature. Once the oven is heated, bake as directed.

How do you make Alfredo sauce?

Traditional American-style Alfredo sauce is usually made with heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings including pepper, garlic and nutmeg. It’s a creamy cheesy white sauce that’s most often served with pasta and chicken. It’s made by cooking in a saucepan or skillet over medium high heat until the cheese has melted and the sauce has reduced slightly. You can check out our Homemade Alfredo Sauce recipe for even more information.

What seasonings go best in Alfredo?

Typically, Alfredo sauce is seasoned with salt, cracked black pepper, nutmeg, garlic and even lemon juice. This Chicken Alfredo Dip uses an Italian Seasoning blend along with onion and garlic powder, but you can absolutely add additional salt, pepper and even nutmeg if you’d like.

What is the best pan to bake this dip in?

This recipe will work in an 8″ x 8″ or a 9″ x 9″ square baking dish, or a 12″ round baking dish. If you want the cheese on the edges to get a little crispy, you can also use a round 10″ or 12″ cast iron skillet (as seen in the photos).

Storing and Reheating

Refrigerator: store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
To reheat: reheat in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also reheat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds to make sure that the cheese stays nice and creamy.
