Dan and I went through a really long phase when we became obsessed with hot dips. We made them weekly and ate them for dinners and snacks and we also brought them to every gathering we attended. We’ve grown out of that as we have become more conscious about what we put into our bodies, but! We still do indulge on occasion.

This Chicken Bacon Artichoke Dip is the definition of cheesy, comforting perfection. It is so cheesy and delicious and it definitely comes with a warning: be prepared to lose all self-control.

It is also so super easy to throw together, making it the perfect appetizer or party food for any type of gathering. Think tailgating parties, holiday gatherings (Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s!) and girls night.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN BACON ARTICHOKE DIP

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a medium-sized baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

RECIPE NOTES: CHICKEN BACON ARTICHOKE DIP

  • Either shred cooked chicken breasts for this recipe or pull the meat from a Rotisserie chicken.
  • Fresh spinach tastes best, but frozen spinach thawed (1 cup) will work great, too.
  • Add a FOURTH cheese by sprinkling Parmesan cheese over the top before baking. Naughty but delicious!
  • Replace all or a portion of the mayo with sour cream, if desired.

HOW TO COOK CHICKEN IN AN INSTANT POT

If you have thawed or frozen chicken breasts and want to cook them quickly for this recipe, consider throwing them into your Instant Pot for a super quick and perfect outcome.

  1. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil; mix well. Rub the mixture all over the surface of the chicken breasts. (Skip this step for an even simpler recipe.)

  2. Lower trivet in your Instant Pot and add chicken broth or water. Place the chicken in a single layer onto the trivet.
  3. Put the cover on the pot and set timer to 5 minutes (for thawed breasts) or 10 minutes (for frozen breasts) on high pressure. It will take the IP around 10 minutes to build up pressure before it begins cooking.

  4. When cooking time is done, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes then set to Quick Release. Let the float valve drop and remove the lid.

  5. Remove chicken from the pot and serve! Pour liquid from the pot over the tops of the breasts, if desired, or shred and add back to liquid.
