5 Ingredient SUPER Easy Chicken Dip Recipe

Five simple ingredients and about 10 minutes are all you need to make this chicken dip recipe. It’s creamy, smoky, and loaded with protein. It’s no secret that I’m passionate about food waste, so much so that I wrote a whole post about it. So, when it comes to solving the problem of what to do with leftover chicken, this is one of my go-tos.

It’s easy to customize, gluten-free, and can be dairy-free with a simple ingredient swap. You can eat it as a chip dip or scoop it up with veggies for a high protein low carb lunch!

As written, this is meant to be a single serving, but if you’re feeding a crowd, use the adjuster on the recipe card below to increase the servings. To make it even easier, you could put it all in your slow cooker for an easy crock pot dip.

If I’m being honest, I didn’t plan on posting this. But in an ongoing effort to just be as authentic as possible, I’m learning to let go of perfection. I’m not a professional photographer, and I like food to look like anyone can make it. This chicken dip recipe isn’t the prettiest, but it’s delicious, easy, and a great way to repurpose a little cooked chicken. It takes less than ten minutes!

Fire-roasted is the secret to this dip’s amazing flavor. Salsa, in general, is one of my favorite shortcut ingredients because it already includes peppers, onions, and other spices, eliminating the need for all those different ingredients. I used it in my one-pot cabbage and beef, and it’s also the secret ingredient in this smoky cheese dip with shredded beef.

Since my husband travels for work, I’m always looking for ways to make meals for one person. I often make my easy roasted chicken thighs and freeze them into single-serving portions for quick meals. I LOVE these freezer-safe containers for that, by the way. If you’d like to double or triple the recipe, you can change the number of servings in the recipe card below by hovering over the serving number. The ingredient amounts will automatically adjust for you.
