Cheesy Slutty Chicken Divan Dip

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.

This dip just needs to calm the hell down. Well, ok maybe it doesn’t because I love it.

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 the shit 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.

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

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