This easy Cheesy Chicken Dip is a delicious, throw-everything-together in one dish and bake-it kind of appetizer everyone will love. It's perfect for a party or gathering!
Use leftover roast or rotisserie chicken (or cook two chicken breasts) and mix with cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, chives, and sriracha.
Bake until golden and bubbly, then serve it with cucumber, carrots, crackers, tortilla chips, or crispy crostini slices.
This recipe also makes a tasty and filling lunch or dinner with a crunchy green salad, sourdough bread, and your favorite veggies.
