Ingredients

1/2 rotisserie chicken (no skin)
2 cups American cheese (shredded)
1 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups Caesar dressing
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded, for topping)
2 tablespoons green onions (chopped)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Grease an 8×8-inch deep baking dish with butter or cooking spray, then set it aside.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded American cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, and 1 cup of Caesar dressing. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4: Shred the rotisserie chicken into small pieces by hand and spread it evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: Drizzle 1/2 cup Caesar dressing over the shredded chicken, spreading as much as possible over the surface.
Step 6: Spoon the cheese mixture over the chicken and smooth the top evenly.
Step 7: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly. For a crispier top, turn on the broiler for 2 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Step 8: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped green onions.
Step 9: Serve immediately with your favorite chips, bread, or veggies. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a touch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the cheese mixture before baking.
Substitute rotisserie chicken with cooked and shredded turkey or cooked bacon for a different twist.
Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a sharper, more intense flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a microwave-safe dish or in the oven at 350°F until hot and bubbly again. Avoid overheating to prevent the cheese from separating.
