Description

Dive into the ultimate comfort food with our Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Dip recipe. Perfect for gatherings, it’s creamy, cheesy, and utterly irresistible.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup 1% milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 8oz package cream cheese
  • 2 cups cooked chopped chicken breast (about 1 large breast)

Instructions

  1. Start with the Roux: In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour until you’ve got a smooth mixture. This is your roux, the thickening base for your Alfredo sauce.
  2. Add Flavor: Stir in the salt, parsley, and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute to let the flavors meld together.
  3. Create the Sauce: Slowly add the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly to keep the mixture smooth. Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking often, until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
  4. Cheese it Up: Add the Parmesan cheese and ½ cup of mozzarella cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheeses melt and the sauce is creamy.
  5. Combine with Chicken: In a separate medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the prepared Alfredo sauce and beat until well combined. Stir in the cooked chopped chicken.
  6. Prep for Baking: Spread the dip mixture into a medium baking dish (1-1.5 quarts). Sprinkle the top with the remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, until the dip is bubbly and starts to brown on top.
