Tips
- Use Rotisserie Chicken: For a quick and easy option, consider using store-bought rotisserie chicken. It saves time and adds great flavor to your dip.
- Customize Your Cheese: While mozzarella is delicious, feel free to mix in other cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for an extra kick.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Enhance the flavor by mixing in some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives before baking.
- Don’t Skip the Cooling Time: Allow the dip to cool for 5-10 minutes after baking. This helps the cheese set and makes it easier to scoop.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your dip with a variety of dippers like tortilla chips, fresh vegetable sticks, or toasted baguette slices for a delightful experience.
