Pin This RecipeEasy Chicken Dip for a Party
This Cracked Out Chicken Dip is totally addicting! OMG! I couldn’t walk past it without taking a bite. Cheddar, bacon, ranch, chicken, and cream cheese – so easy and SOOOO good! I always take a few snacks down to my parent’s house for Christmas, and this Cracked Out Chicken Dip is definitely one of the ones I’m taking this year. We ate this with crackers, but it would also be good with pita chips and some celery. Heck, it’s good straight off the spoon! LOL!
How to Make Cream Cheese Chicken Spread
This dip is super easy to make. Simply mix together softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, cooked chicken, and ranch dressing mix. Store the dip in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- This dip uses canned chicken. You can substitute 2 cups of cooked chopped chicken if you don’t want to use canned chicken. I have substituted some rotisserie chicken in this appetizer and it is delicious!
- I used precooked bacon in this dip. It is a huge timesaver. If you don’t have precooked bacon, you will need about ¾ pound of bacon.
- Can substitute turkey bacon for regular pork bacon.
- You can use low-fat cream cheese if you want to cut down on the calories.
- If you are sensitive to store-bought ranch dressing mix, feel free to adjust the amount to your personal preference.
- Here is our recipe for Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix: https://www.plainchicken.com/homemade-ranch-dressing-mix/
- Can this dip be made in advance? Yes! You can mix up this chicken dip ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to serve. It will keep about a week in the refrigerator.
Easy Low-Carb Appetizer
This Cracked Out Chicken Dip is a favorite at our house. I like to serve it at parties for a low-carb, keto-friendly, and gluten-free option. Serve the dip with crackers, celery, carrots, or gluten-free crackers.

What can I use in place of ranch ? I don’t have any on hand
Just made this for first time for lunch at work tomorrow. Husband and daughter both approve. I think next time I will add some green onion.
do you think i could use a rotisserie chicken and just shred it up?
Sure!
How much chicken breast would u use
My 3 yr old grand daughter loves this chicken dip….. i have made it several times…. this week we cooked a turkey out on the grill and i made it with turkey instead of chicken…..she approved…. since i have a lot of turkey i may try some of the other cracked out chicken recipes and substitute turkey….
Where did you find that dip bowl? I want one.
Have you ever tried this with boiled chicken rather than canned chicken?
Hmmm…now if I put that on some tortillas and roll them up….
