This Chicken & Bacon Artichoke Dip is ultra creamy and flavorful, and is a deliciously hearty and savory appetizer that’s perfect for fall tailgating.

This hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip has always been one of my favorite appetizers. It’s creamy and cheesy and feel so decadent. But being that I’m not a huge fan of spinach, I wanted to mix it up and try the recipe sans spinach. It still needed a little something to make it a little more substantial and I still had a ton of this slow cooker shredded chicken…it was the perfect marriage! I figured a little bacon couldn’t hurt, because, well…bacon.

The base for the recipe is similar to the original – cream cheese, Mozzarella, Parmesan, sour cream, mayo and garlic. Together they make this dip ultra creamy and cheesy. The addition of the chicken tones down the richness of the cheeses and makes this artichoke dip a more substantial appetizer. It’s perfect for tailgating, girls’ night or even lunch!
