Chicken bacon artichoke dip
01.24.2013 
I love the couple of weeks leading up to the Superbowl because I have an excuse to make yummy, gooey dips with the intent of sharing them with you! Dan and I have a weakness for dips, which makes the Superbowl a fun event for us every year. Someone told me once that there is actually FOOTBALL being played that day?! Ha! Nice try.
I was inspired to make this recipe after seeing this on Allrecipes. I just about squealed when I saw all of these delicious ingredients swimming together in my baking dish. When it came out of the oven, Dan and I both pounced. Mmmm, it was everything I expected and more.

Preaheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a medium-sized baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine:
2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
6 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
14-oz. can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup milk
3-oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Mix well and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Top with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Serve warm with chips or crackers.

Did you use marinated artichokes?
That looks and sounds delicious!!!
Hi Sheila! Nope, I didn't use marinated artichokes. I think that would add a different flavor to the dip. Hope that helps!

Looks yummy. Superbowl worthy ;) Pinning now
Holy Cow! this looks so freaking yummy :( I wish I could have a bowl of this myself. And I love that you have triscuits laying there - Talk about a childhood memory for me. I love those things but haven't had them in years...a perfect cracker for a hearty dip like this. Looks really delicious!
Delicious! I'm planning what dish I want to cook it in already!
Love the bacon in this!
I made this this past weekend for a party. It was really good and creamy, but it was a bit bland. SO i think next time i will cut up some fresh Jalepnos to give it a little kick.
thanks for the recipe. It was really good!
Hi Jennifer! I LOVE your recommendation to add jalapenos for a bit of a kick! Thanks! Will try this next time..
