Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Don't freeze the dip. The sour cream will separate and make a grainy, watery mess.
- Bake the dip at 325 until heated through, or microwave it at 1-minute intervals.
- When washing chicken, hold it as close to the bottom of the sink as possible and use the lowest water pressure possible to prevent splashing.
- Wash the sink and counters immediately after washing the chicken to prevent cross-contamination.
- It only takes a minute or two to brown the dip under the broiler. Keep a close eye on it!
