What’s the best chicken to use?

I like to make this with chicken breast rather than thighs, but both will work. I find that some people prefer the texture of chicken breasts, so if you have picky eaters, those are probably best to use.

What’s the best way to cook the chicken?

I like to bake the chicken breasts in the oven, it’s an eay to prep and hands off method, but you can also cook them on a skillet or in an Instant Pot or Crockpot. To save time, you can also use a store-bought rotisserie chicken.

Can you make it ahead of time?

This BBQ chicken dip is best served warm, straight out of the oven. You can make up the baking dish and keep it refrigerated for a day and then bake it when you are ready to serve.

Recipe Tips and Notes

  • Double for a large party and bake in a 9×13 inch pan.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, potato chips, bread or veggies!
  • I like to use a full fat cream cheese for the richest flavor, but you can use low fat if you prefer.
  • The cream cheese should be at room temperature so that it’s easy to combine with the other ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces cream cheese 1 package, softened
  • 1 cup bbq sauce divided
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 2 green onions chopped, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425℉. Rub the chicken breasts with oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and cook for 18-25 minutes until the thickest part of the breast reads 165℉ on a thermometer. Set aside to cool to touch, then chop into bite sized pieces.

    2 large chicken breasts, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt & pepper

  • Lower the oven temperature to 350℉. In a bowl, stir together the cream cheese, ¾ cup barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, sour cream, half of the cheese and half of the green onion with the chicken pieces.

    8 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup bbq sauce, ½ cup ranch dressing, ¼ cup sour cream, 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, 2 green onions

  • Spoon into an 8×8 baking dish, smoothing out the top. Top with remaining ¼ cup bbq sauce and sprinkle on the remaining cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the dip is bubbling around the edges.

    1 cup bbq sauce

  • Garnish with the remaining green onions and enjoy!

Notes

  • To save time, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken.
  • Double for a large party and bake in a 9×13 inch pan.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, potato chips, bread or veggies!
  • I like to use a full fat cream cheese for the richest flavor, but you can use low fat if you prefer.
  • The cream cheese should be at room temperature so that it’s easy to combine with the other ingredients.

Storage: Store BBQ chicken dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
