Chicken Alfredo pasta is one of those time honored recipes because it’s just super delicious! There’s something so satisfying about the combination of chicken and pasta in a rich and cheesy sauce. This chicken Alfredo dip is the appetizer version of this classic dish.

How do you make chicken Alfredo dip?

This recipe starts with cooked, diced chicken. You can cook your own chicken, use leftover chicken, buy a rotisserie chicken, it’s up to you! The chicken is mixed with Alfredo sauce, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, herbs and parmesan, then topped with more cheese and baked.

Homemade Alfredo sauce

For the sake of convenience, I recommend using a high quality pre-made Alfredo sauce from the refrigerated section at your local grocery store. If you’d like to make your own homemade Alfredo sauce instead, here is a basic recipe. This recipe will make more than you need for this dip, so you can either halve the recipe or save the rest of your sauce to go over pasta.

  • 3 tablespoons of butter
  • 2 tablespoons of flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste

Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the milk and cream, then simmer, whisking constantly, until sauce has just thickened. Add the  parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to the milk mixture, along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until cheese has melted.

Tips for Chicken alfredo dip

  • This dip can be assembled in advance, then stored in the fridge for up to 8 hours before you plan to bake it. You will need to add a few more minutes to the bake time if you’re starting with a refrigerated dip.
  • I typically use mozzarella and parmesan cheeses in this recipe because they’re classic additions to chicken Alfredo, but other great options are fontina, asiago or romano cheeses.
  • Chicken Alfredo dip is not complete without the toppings! I add bacon, tomatoes and parsley for some texture and color. The flavors pair perfectly with the Alfredo base and you can never go wrong with bacon.
  • I serve my chicken Alfredo dip with baguette chips (crostini), breadsticks and pretzel chip. Other great options include fresh bread, crackers and vegetables.

Once you try this Alfredo dip, you’ll be totally hooked! It’s great for parties, game day, or just when you have a hankering for some cheesy comfort food. Every time I bring this dip to a gathering I get so many requests for the recipe!

    Delicious! I have not tried making a dip like this, but I sure will make it the soonest. I am also interested in the Shrimp scampi dip recipe. Will download and save that too.
