Super Simple Cheesy Chicken Artichoke Dip

There are times when you need a little simplicity. I’ve been having that sort of life for the past several weeks as we try to squeeze in appointments, last-minute summer vacations, and work in the midst of getting the kids ready for high school and college. This dip was one of those … I found myself rushing into the house the other day with no time to cook, yet I was hungry! I needed something to munch on quickly and I was craving cheese.

I looked in the fridge to see what I could find. Half of a leftover chicken breast and a half package of white Mexican dipping cheese … a half bottle of white wine. Hmmm, what could I make with that? Rummaging through the cupboard produced a jar of artichoke hearts. I raided my little herb garden in post and tada! A beautifully simple, delicious dip that satisfied my hunger and my cheese craving all in one fell swoop.

Notes

You can make this cheesy dip in a mini-crockpot too … just put all the ingredients except the herbs into a little crock, cover and cook till the cheese is melted, stopping to stir a couple times, then stir in the herbs and keep it warm on low heat to serve.
