December was, as usual, THE party month of the year, with lots of food everywhere and it was the perfect time to experiment with a new one: Cheesy Chicken Alfredo dip… Yes, it was yummy! You’ve gotta try it, but only if you want your guests to clean it out ASAP!!
As I was multi-tasking during Thanksgiving, I cooked some chicken breasts in the soup base of this Colombian corn soup I wanted to try out. You could also use rotisserie chicken and chop the chicken breast up. Anything goes when you’re really busy!
This recipe is super easy and I think the hardest part was cooking/chopping the chicken, and maybe slicing the bell peppers and cucumbers. I also served crackers, but everyone liked the peppers and cucumbers best. They’re a perfect balance to the rich Alfredo dip.
Too easy not to try! You and your guest will really enjoy it!
