Can I Use Other Ingredients

I get this question a lot and here are some of my suggestions for substitutions.

Chicken: I used chicken canned chicken for this recipe. You can also use cooked chicken and then shred it before making the dip.

Spices: If you don’t have parsley you can omit it from the recipe.

Garlic: If you don’t have minced garlic you can use a clove of whole garlic. Cut the garlic into small pieces. You would need to cook the garlic a bit before adding the rest of the ingredients if you will be using a whole clove of garlic.

Spicy: I used red pepper flakes to make this dip slightly spicy. You could also cut up jalapenos into small pieces and add them to this dish if you really like your dips extra spicy. Hot sauce will also work.

There are a lot of things that go well with the chicken dip. Some suggestions are:

Crackers- This is my favorite thing to eat with the chicken dip.

Toast- You can dip the toast in the chicken dip or make a sandwich with it.

Celery Sticks- My kids like to dip celery sticks in the dip and eat it that way.
