Chicken Divan Dip

Chicken Divan Dip is an appetizer version of, obviously, Chicken Divan. It is a little creamier and not quite as rich as the Chicken Divan dish. This is perfect for bridal teas (just don’t call it by the name I have given it), holidays, potlocks, and whatever else you can bring food to.

Can Chicken Divan be a dip?

I guess a better question is can it be slutty.

Yes.

Yes, it sure can.

To my knowledge, Chicken Divan never called for cheese.

It definitely never asked for two types of cheese, and probably not whole cream. Ok, well maybe some whole cream.

And the buttered Ritz cracker topping?

Cliche, I know but it rounds the whole thing out perfectly.

You’re just not being honest with yourself if you say you don’t like that buttery, crispy crackeriness that complements hot, cheesy dips like they were meant for eachother in a romcom.

Chicken Divan Dip

This dip is almost like a condensed version of Chicken Divan with that signature slightly sherried taste, but creamier and not quite as rich

Probably the greatest thing about the taste of Chicken Divan is the Sherry.

My husband will disagree because he isn’t crazy about the taste of it, but Chicken Divan is absolutely divine in my opinion, seriously.

Today I’m sharing a dip I made with Chicken Divan.

I actually put everything in my food processor and pulsed it until it was almost smooth, but you don’t have to.

You can leave it chunky if you want and get the same taste.

Either way is delicious.

I mean, I wouldn’t leave it way too chunky, but it would definitely work.

And I don’t want to hear all that mess about broccoli making you gassy.

YOLO.
