Easy No Bake Chicken Dip with Feta and Dried Tomatoes
A chicken dip recipe that blends cream cheese, tangy feta, and flavorful dried tomatoes with shredded chicken for a quick and hearty no-bake dish. It’s ready in minutes and perfect for scooping onto crackers or bread, filling wraps, or topping a bed of lettuce. Serve this as a light snack or lunch, or part of a charcuterie board for a fun weeknight dinner or for easy entertaining.
This recipe for a quick and delicious cream cheese chicken dip with feta and dried tomatoes is a nice change from all the super cheesy baked chicken dips out there.
It’s deep flavors of dried tomatoes and feta pair well with either crackers and bread or lettuce leaves on any appetizer plate. And since it’s no-bake, it’s not only easy to make, but easy to make ahead and transport to parties and potlucks.
I also like to use this as part of an easy summer charcuterie meal of cheeses, breads, and cut veggies. It’s cool, delicious, and fun for any outdoor dinner.
Plan an Appetizer Meal
Our family often has a whole meal of just finger foods, dips, and vegetables – especially around the holidays or for sporting events. If you’ve never had a whole meal of appetizers, I urge to to try it, and soon. It’s SO fun to be able to eat all the foods that you usually try to take only bites of to save room for the meal – it is the meal!
When thinking about the appetizers I want to include I always make sure to include protein and vegetables and not just a lot of chips, salsa, or cheese plates, which is where recipes like this chicken dip recipe comes in.
Ingredients
- Cooked chicken: Use chicken you’ve frozen from store bought or slow cooked rotisserie chicken, or even canned chicken in a pinch. You can also cook and shred the chicken.
- Cream cheese and sour cream: this gives the dip it’s creamy texture without having to bake it.
- Feta cheese: this provides a lot of flavor, though you could also use grated parmesan or romano cheese.
- Home-dried tomatoes packed in oil, or store-bought dried tomatoes.
Make Cream Cheese Chicken Dip
The simple steps to making this dip:
- Cook the chicken, if needed – you can do days or even weeks in advance, refrigerating or freezing until needed.
- Add all the other ingredients to a food processor and whir until mixed.
- Stir in the chicken.
Done!
Storage
While this tastes great right away, it actually gets better after a few hours in the fridge, so it’s a perfect make ahead option.
- This dip keeps up to a week in the fridge in an airtight container.
I love, love, love how this dip turned out since the combination of feta and dried tomatoes is one of my favorites.
My family ate this up as I was testing it, oohing and aahing over how good it was – so I know it will make the perfect addition to any appetizer meal whenever I want a filling, flavorful dip.
I hope you like this chicken dip as much as our family does – remember to leave a rating and review so I know how you liked it!
