Snacking should forever and always be an art form in my book.
Whether it’s wings, crostini, egg rolls, guacamole, sliders, or dips, those snacks should make me groan with happiness for every mouthful.
Some may say this is setting the bar too high.

I say the snacking bar can never be set high enough, friends.
Don’t worry, I won’t be making you spend hours in the kitchen to get something extra tasty on the menu.
Instead, I’m only going to ask you use your slow cooker or pressure cooker to make some easy shredded BBQ chicken. Then you’ll mix that into a cheesy dip and bake away.
All in all, it’s about 10 to 15 minutes of active prep/cooking time!
The rest of the time the dish is cooking, you can spend it sitting around, sipping on a beer, and enjoying just how awesome you are for making this killer bbq chicken dip.
When it comes to the ample flavor in this dip, it’s all about the Head Country Bar-B-Q sauce.
Did you know that Head Country now has a sugar-free BBQ sauce? Honestly, it’s the BEST sugar free BBQ sauce I’ve tasted. In addition, it is BRAND NEW and it packs the punch of BBQ flavor you know and love.
The sweet and smoky balance is strong in this sauce, so it really makes this bbq chicken dip stand out in the crowd. Since you are using it twice – once to cook the chicken, and again in the dip itself – you get a double-dose of the flavor to complement the cheesy, savory, and spicy flavors of the dip.
I mean, just look at that cheeeeeeesy goodness!
Y-U-M.
As much as you may want to pull out the chips and store bought salsa when you are heading to a gathering or hosting, it’s time to put on your grownup pants and get your butt in the kitchen.
Trust me when I say your taste buds will thank you!
Serve this dip with toasted bread slices, or if you are going for a low-carb option, serve it up with a variety of sliced vegetables. However, this bbq chicken dip tastes amazing either way!
This Recipe’s Must-Haves
I made my skillet dip in the lovely and oh-so durable Le Creuset Signature Provence Enameled Cast Iron 9 Inch Skillet! It comes in tons of colors, but I love the Oyster so so much.
The OXO Good Grips Wooden Corner Spoon & Scraper is all you need to combine the ingredients in this dip!
You only need one of these Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls to make the dip, but I love have a set available for all different sized recipes.
I just got the Instant Pot Max 6 Quart Multi-use Electric Pressure Cooker and OMG I AM IN LOVE. The model is amazing and it cooks the chicken for this dip so quickly and efficiently.
