Life doesn’t get better than this! Hands down, best dip I’ve had all year!
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish or cast iron skillet.
2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken and Alfredo sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.
3. Fold in the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan until well blended. Stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
4. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
5. If desired, sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top for a nice, golden crust.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and bubbly around the edges.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh herby finish before serving.
8. Serve warm with your choice of dippables.
Variations & Tips:
A versatile dish, this dip can be customized to your liking. Try adding some chopped sun-dried tomatoes or sautéed spinach for an extra layer of flavor and color. If you’re a fan of heat, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes can lend a spicy kick. For a lighter version, consider substituting Greek yogurt for the ricotta cheese—just keep in mind that it will alter the flavor profile slightly. And as always in cooking, the quality of your ingredients will shine through, so choose a good-quality Alfredo sauce or take the plunge and make your own—it’s simpler than you might think and truly worth the effort.
