Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start off by shredding your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and set it aside.

  4. Gently fold in the shredded chicken and shredded cheddar cheese into the creamy mixture.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the dip to a baking dish. Top it off with extra shredded cheddar cheese.
Baking

Serving
  1. Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped chives before serving.

Notes

Feel free to replace the chicken with shredded turkey or diced cooked veggies for a vegetarian option. Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smoother dip.
